The intent of this project is to bring to light the bias that today's society has towards faces in a profile picture. Even when people chose not to display a picture of themselves, often a drawing of a face or a meme including some kind of face is displayed. My goal with this project is to make people re-evaluate that kind of thinking.
The profile picture that I will be displaying, starting tomorrow morning on my Facebook profile, will be a picture of my legs. People may just assume that my thumbnail selection skills are lacking and click on the picture to see the full thing, only to discover that it really is just a pair of legs.
I hope to make people feel slightly uncomfortable and question why legs might be an appropriate alternative to having a face in a profile picture.
