Emotions, Undone

Where does performance end and reality begin? This beauty editorial unravels the tension between the two, capturing the act of "wearing" emotion - until the performance dissolves, and the feeling becomes a second skin. What starts as an act transforms into something real, a mask not just for the world but for oneself.
