Inspired by Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin, this project explores the tension between beauty and the unknown. Drawing from the film's minimalist aesthetic and cosmic imagery, I transformed the human face into something that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

Through sculptural makeup, reflective textures, and dramatic lighting, the project blends editorial portraiture with cinematic abstraction. The resulting series invites viewers to question where beauty ends, identity begins, and what might exist beneath the surface.
