SHADES OF A FACE

Work presented at Parsons, New School for Design in the Summer Intensive Course 2008 Final Exhibition

Rosy Fasja (Mexican, 1986- )
Shades of a Face, New York, 2008
Mixed Media.

Artist Statement:
I was born in Mexico, but all my life I’ve been interested in different cultures and people. I enjoy traveling around the world and meeting new people every day.
Being in NY for the summer is a small, yet inspirational taste of vastly different cultures and lifestyles. The photographs that I’m presenting give the viewer a simple, enchanting look of every person’s intimate life. If we look closely in the eyes of each face we can find a lifetime full of experiences and a body that has been witness to the soul’s joy and pain. People can lie, smiles can be a guard to protect inner lives, but an expression bares it all.

Living in a big city like NY gave me the opportunity to see that people can become lonely to an extent, and they often forget that there are others around them. Like this shade represents, as different and distance as people may be there is an undeniable link that brings them all together.
