Contrast Faces
Two truths pressed against each other
Light means nothing without the dark beside it.
Contrast Faces puts two opposing truths against each other and lets each one sharpen the other. Neither side disappears just because the other is present.
Companion work: Twin Beauty and Contrast Faces both explore what happens when two faces share the same space. One begins with resemblance. The other begins with difference. Neither asks one face to disappear into the other.
