    Vanity Fear (altered magazines) | 2014

A series of unsettling portraits cut out from glossy fashion magazines. The pages of found magazines have been carved to single out particular elements, that through their accumulation on the cover would create a disturbing new image: smiling lips, bright eyes and translucent legs, extracted from their original context and exposed as a multitude are no longer elements of beauty but become part of disfigured creatures.
