+ Front of house (2018)
House façades, like human identity, are a visible interface between the
private interior and the outside world. They act as a mask, protecting
the interior while expressing a specific image to those who observe
them. This series explores the metaphor of façades as a reflection of
identity, questioning the authenticity of what we show to the world:
how much does it truly reflect our inner nature?
Séries of 63 photographic color prints (32 selfportraits and 31 houses) glued onto loose sheets of paper, stamped with black ink.
Façades, whether embellished, renovated, or deteriorated, symbolize the efforts or neglect in the presentation of self. They also mirror stability or change, just as identity can remain fixed or evolve over time. In a neighborhood, they express individuality or conformity, reflecting the tension between standing out and fitting into society.
This photographic series invites reflection on appearance, authenticity, change, and social perception, through the lens of façades as a metaphor for identity.
