filtered realities

This series is inspired by social media filters, so called beauty filters, editing tools that use artificial intelligence to modify facial features, like Instagram's "perfect face" filter that adjusts facial features according to a supposedly ideal ratio. Research into this phenomenon has shown that the power of these filters between users has created a sense of disconnection between their real appearance and the edited images that they share with the world, a kind of self-objectification. With my images, I tried to translate this effect 'filter dysmorphia , with numerical manipulations and physical. I used different products such as: the wax of candle, gelatin, burning ,carving and painting on my prints to create different visuals that exaggerate the perception of distorted human face that sometimes looks pretty and strange.
