i was kind of stumped when i first sat down with this project. was the change meant to imply a physical grotesqueness, an inner change, or something superficial? My underlying layer is just that, a superficial or physical representation of what i look like, not so much who i am right now. the top layer is a bit more in depth. it isn't a changed variation of who i am, but who i do not want to become. i have transformed myself into an androgynous businesswoman on a computer. the background text is a collection of various quotes from ayn rand's work. the quotes i choose are a contradiction to the image; they speak of individuality and pride. the business woman persona is a terrifying aspect of middle aged life for me. one of my worst fears is living within a cubicle for 20 years. the quotes are comforting and reassuring that we have a chance to be what we desire.
"here are my rules; what can be done with one substance must never be done with another. no two materials are alike no to sites on earth are alike. no two buildings have the same purpose. the purpose, the site, the material determine the shape."
