I wanted to use photos that reflect special moments in my life, but my facial expression often does not match the feeling I was having at the moment. I chose 2 photos from moments in my own life, and a moment in history that I reflect upon and pull inspiration from.

I was having trouble deciding whether or not to use eyes or mouths to recreate the expression in the photos. I went with mouths and edited photos of different mouth expressions to match the color palette I was going for while also keeping a common theme of being the main feature in each photo.

I cut out different expressions in different sizes to see which fit best where. I tried different mouths digitally, but I ultimately liked how the final photo looked printed out and digitally scanned.

I left some mouths on for a day and really let myself see if it expressed what I wanted it to. It took a lot of changes in size and expression but I finally decided on which mouths I liked the best.

Scanning the physical photo vs doing it all digitally was something that I debated for a while. I chose to do it physically because doing it all digitally looked 'too clean' to me. I like how scanning it all together makes the photo look more like it was taken that was originally.
