The Andronymph series is a ongoing project of mask making. Through the years, these personas have been developped in a way to explore the limits of corporality. They do no conform or correspond to any specific culture nor religion, rather invite to create personal and suspended narratives.​​

The project originated more with a body positive approach. The masks were made only for a certain person, and were never worn by someone else. The project started by encounters with strangers, as a space to imagine my first impression of them. From these encounters, a primal and parallel version of them was developped within the artists, who then constructed the masks.

 

These models were selected specifically because they had body issues, and weren't used to a camera, nor to be seen. The mask played the role of a catalyst for self acceptance. As they were masked, the wearers became more connected within themselves and started incarnating these masks. 

​

As the year went by, the masks became less individual oriented, and more concept based. Each mask holds a world within, and invites to infinite reinvention of the self by connecting to higher primal grounds.
