Zhang Huan Appropriation

For this appropriation I focused on the covering or "masking" of my subject in a similar way to Zhang Huan.  I asked my subject to tell me one of her biggest insecurities, and to read from a book that she felt reflected her insecurity.  She felt more comfortable with displaying her insecurities through another language (Italian).  I appropriated the masking technique, similar outfit, and framing.
 Huan's style is very straight forward and is reflective of the individual, which is what I am most interested in appropriating.  The progression of the writing covering her face is directly taken from Huan's series.
