The purpose of this project was to create a distorted yet pleasing view of the human form. This idea came to me when I was making faces at one of my friends through a huge jar that had previously been used as a fish tank. I quickly realized that the way the jar distorted my features would make for an interesting photograph, and I proceeded to experiment with this jar and many other glass pieces. The first three photographs are of a dear friend who was willing to model for me, and the last four are self-portraits. The part of the face that is distorted by glass is meant to represent the raw, almost dark side of the individual, with the glass serving as a window to the frequently hidden part of the human nature. After discovering the meaning behind each photograph, "Through The Looking Glass" seemed like an appropriate name for the series.
