The un·i·den·ti·fi·a·ble series of work began as an experiment: what is a portrait without identity? The core concept was to take a recognizable face and distort the image until the original is unrecognizable. "removing identities until the source is no longer seen."


Process & Technique: The process involves altering the dimensions within the file’s data, causing it to distort differently than changing the size in an editing program. This involves many layers of repeated editing, until the subject form is completely abstracted. The files are corrupted through manipulation, transforming faces into pure color and shape.
