15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Blurry Face

I just wanted to show someone who knows who she is, but at the same time she doesn´t. For me the "blurry face" context means that she is not well defined. She hides from the outside, hides her beauty. And the power she, as a woman, could have, but is unclear. The picture itself provokes the public to want to see her face. Discover who the real person -behind that not defined face- is.
