The overall concept of the Diptych is that a pair of images are presented together. One cannot exist without another. I plan to take photos of the cosmetics. Through this project, I try to convey the relationship between people(especially women) and
cosmetics and express ideas about nature and beauty. I plan to blur and lighten the cosmetics using Photoshop. It implies that cosmetics and make-up can indeed make people look more beautiful if used in a proper way. We get to make a little adjustment on our faces to look better. However, it’s not natural. It’s what we truly look like in the mirror that we should accept. We shouldn’t let make-up mislead our self-recognition and rely too much on cosmetics. If possible, I want to show a feeling of the cosmetics strangling a person’s face or body. It is to show that we shouldn’t let cosmetics cover us. They don’t define us.
The first image depicts the beauty of cosmetics. While the second one shows the unreal side of it, making a balance between make-up beauty and natural beauty.
