Skin Tones is an art project that examines the notion that an individual’s perception of themselves is inherently tied to one’s skin color, and this in turn determines one’s perception of others. It influences bias on a personal level, and bias across races at a macro level.In combining multiple faces to form a collection of images, I wanted to look at the interconnected nature of our skin, its tonality and the perceptions we have of ourselves as well as the perceptions others have of us.The faces are presented as fragmented forms, and are intended to ask “What is racism these days?”
