Cultural Influences
(by Sebastian Hartmann)
Everyone is born in any culture. The own culture is subconsciously internalized, but we are also affected by foreign cultures. We may subconsciously use manners, features, thoughts, etc. of cultures from anywhere. This is mostly shown by our exterior. In my Project I show different foreign cultures unified by overlaying them with our familiar culture. Foreign cultures are figured as native portraits of each culture and symbolism.
The familiar culture is shown as self portrait. Reflection of the halves of the face are special features to give the illustration a mask-like look.
