Process

I decided to replace the delicately depicted faces in traditional artworks with the emoticon "wow" face. I attempted to create a sense of uniformity and awkwardness in contrast to the subtlety of facial expression in original artworks.

- The two elements are very different in texture, brightness, etc. So I tried many tools in Photoshop (like blur filters/ feather masks) and attempted to integrate the two disjointed elements into one work. 

- I put the four pieces of wow faces in a collage style to draw connection and contrast between them.
