fragmented selves

This artwork represents the multifaceted nature of human identity and consciousness. Conceptually, it's an exploration of the different personas we embody and the psychological layers that constitute our being. Each face, distinct in its expression and mood, signifies an aspect of the self – from our public personas to the private faces we reveal to none. The fragmented and overlaid images suggest the complexity and sometimes the fragmented nature of our identities, influenced by our thoughts, experiences, and the subconscious.

The original generation was made in Midjourney, but all the faces had the same expression but it was a bit to clean and photographic, so I ran it through a Stable Diffusion model trained on my physical ink art multiple times with different prompts to get a variety of facial expressions, I then composited all the diverse expressions into one image using Photoshop.
