I love all of these pictures but honestly would have loved them more without the distracting images inserted in them.

This one is by far my favorite. It's the strongest and it looks like so many different faces to me, each face with a different possible emotion/take on things.

I chose to add the images overlaid. I didn't feel the images themselves conveyed the feelings and connections I wanted on their own, and they were annoyingly flat and simplistic. Too mundane, boring. I'm kinda glad to images are somewhat distracting because the face itself as a "human" face is not the point and not the focus and I felt that as they were before, the point and purpose was obscured. I want the faces recognizably human, but I don't want their humanity to be the most intrinsic part of them. I was going for a transcendence state because I'm talking about my consciousness. The faces in their expressions are there because it had to be me. I kinda wish I had had more balls to do what I wanted, because I origianlly was going to break the face aparat so not all elements were present and the image of the trees seemed to be behind, inside and in front of i all at once.

It was a really difficult (and still is) concept for me to know how to express visually. =\
