As humans, we are constantly presenting ourselves to each other, both intentionally and subconsciously. Our body postures, facial expressions and mannerisms are visual clues about our inner worlds. Although these self-presentations are carefully cultivated, they don’t always say what we intend them to. I’m interested in the gaps between what we think we project about ourselves and what others see when they look at us. What slips out, when we’re not busily constructing our narratives? Those small moments unwittingly reveal aspects of our personalities that we are not always aware of, or prepared to share. Sometimes these stories are very personal expressions, at other times they reflect the narrative of our collective culture. They alternate between performance and truth.
