This project is based on the idea that every single second of our lives holds meaning. I collected items that are normally viewed as mundane and used them as "canvas" for my artwork. Using self-portraits of people waking up in the morning I printed, drew, and painted faces on my new material and created an installation filled to the brim with the extraordinary of the ordinary.
