“Imperfection” is human and at the same time external appearance is a great divider. In society’s search for visual perfection, people with physical or psychological differences or “abnormalities” are socially excluded: cruelly pushed aside by those who validate their own self worth by the distancing themselves from the less “perfect.”

This series seeks to re-represent the socially rejected and to remind ourselves that our similarities go beyond our differences. I explore the range of human emotions in “imperfect” subjects, thereby encouraging a connection between the onlookers and the portrayed.
