] was about everyone having this other side to them. I’m not a psychologist, but I think it would probably be a great lesson for most people to tap into an alter ego that they’d love to be, or another energy that they’re not able to release.
“Obviously, I think I’m definitely speaking from a place of privilege where another side of me is able to release itself freely, as I’ve not been suppressed by any kind of discrimination. Often people who have to live through those moments, they’re kind of pushed to somewhere where they have to put on another mask. So I think ineven though this project is joyful, it’s talking a little bit about the weight that people have to carry around.
“I kind of loved this idea of ten different faces staring back at you. And I hope that people who own the box are able to experiment; if you want to keep them in the box, if you want to lay them out, if you want to show them off, if you want to frame them, if you want to just cut them up and collage them. You’re able to do whatever you want with it.
