This handcrafted mixed media collage examines the fragmentation of identity and the mythology of beauty. By layering and distorting a classic Hollywood portrait, I explore how memory, media, and repetition shape our perception of self and others. Textural elements like bubble wrap prints and mesh add depth, while selective color highlights the tension between visibility and erasure. The work invites viewers to reflect on what remains when an image — or identity — is reproduced, manipulated, or remembered.
