One of my projects for the "façade" category of my concentration on humanity is a collage of happy women from magazines. The next step is to take the collage and red out the women's eyes with acrylic. The concept behind the project is touching on the image people attempt to convey as they sell their iconicism/product. A smile is perceived to mean everything is fantastic, making it what the general public hopes to aspire toward, and, therefore, it is often twisted to feed into encouraging the materialism of contemporary society.
I love your analysis of the smile on contemporary culture. What does the color red mean to you?
