Fish-Eye


By Enoque Huh

People often do not see themselves as they actually are. They may perceive themselves as better or worse looking than they genuinely are. The key is to authentically see oneself exactly as we are. This picture is spontaneous, accidental, unplanned, and not staged. It represents me doing homework and writing on my notebook when my friend Angie took a picture of me in fish-eye mode, without anyone noticing. It shows what my 'resting face' looks like, what I look like in real life. My face looks like an egg, covering most of the paper, distorting the picture of how I look and who I am. By exaggerating the fish-eye mode, it makes a new perspective of myself more visible and attainable. Understanding new views and takes of the face, we can understand ourselves as humans better in a way never seen before, ironically, by distorting our faces.
