SONIA MELNIKOVA ART PHOTOGRAPHY

“What is in the face that we cannot see, what secrets lie beneath, is it in grace, our angel waiting?” (An Internet poet known only as “Hope”) In the ABOUT FACE series I am trying to answer a question about the visual relation of the face and its surrounding, and what effect it has, if any, on the change in our perception of the person behind it when the face (or a mask portrait in this case) is placed into an unexpected environment.
