What is A Face, Really?

What is A Face, Really?
8-7/8" x 11-1/2" Mixed Media Collage


This collage is based on a quote by Barbz Lewinsky:
 
What is a face, really?
Its own photo?
Its own make-up?
Or is it a face as painted by such or such a painter?
That which is front?
Inside? Behind?
And the rest?
Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way?
Deformations simply do not exist.
 
You can find the original quote with an interesting photo at https://www.facebook.com/InspirationalPortraits which site I became acquainted with through Patricia Allingham Carlson's site. Both sites are well worth your visit.

I had recently joined Jennibellie's Monthly Challenge, the first of which had to do with a monochromatic black and white theme to which you could add one or two accent colors. This was my interpretation of that challenge. The quote just seemed to fit the black and white theme.
