In the "Mask" series, I use animal masks to transform into a character or beast, exploring primal instincts and animal attributes. As I spend time analyzing, drawing, and observing the character, role-playing can transform into reality; the animalistic persona can then become part of my identity.
These drawings also use posing, nudity and stylization to investigate models of beauty, femininity, elegance and tropes of portraiture.
