Dissembling - Wood for Trees

 

 

 

 Sixth in a new series called Dissembling

dis·sem·ble  (d-smbl)
    v. dis·sem·bled, dis·sem·bling, dis·sem·bles
    1. To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance. See Synonyms at disguise.
    2. To make a false show of; feign.
    To disguise or conceal one's real nature, motives, or feelings behind a false appearance.

    From The Free Dictionary

The series is about the different guises and masks we wear.

This particular image is about the way we disguise ourselves so we fit in and don't 'stick out' by making ourselves look and behave the same as everyone else. Thus, we, in our individuality become almost invisible and we don't notice the wood or even a single tree for the multitude of trees.

Dissembling - Deep Water

 

 

 

This is the fifth in the series.

dis·sem·ble  (d-smbl)
v. dis·sem·bled, dis·sem·bling, dis·sem·bles
1. To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance. See Synonyms at disguise.
2. To make a false show of; feign.
To disguise or conceal one's real nature, motives, or feelings behind a false appearance.

From The Free Dictionary

The series is about the different guises and masks we wear.

This particular image is about the fact that we hide most of ourselves in 'deep water' or rather below the surface and only someone looking closer will see if not all but more of what we hide in our everyday lives. It's very rare to find a person where what you see is what you get.

Dissembling - Beauty Pageant

 

 

Second in my new series called Dissembling

dis·sem·ble  (d-smbl)

v. dis·sem·bled, dis·sem·bling, dis·sem·bles
1. To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance. See Synonyms at disguise.
2. To make a false show of; feign.
To disguise or conceal one's real nature, motives, or feelings behind a false appearance.

From The Free Dictionary

The series is about the different guises and masks we wear.

This particular image is about the efforts we make and the pains we are prepared to take to be beautiful and to adhere to the beauty standards and trends of our time. From designer eyes (coloured contact lenses) to makeup to surgery to turning ourselves into animals or vampires (and so on) there are many ways to hide ourselves until we cannot tell where the mask ends and we begin. The saddest thing of all is that we seem to forget that outer beauty is nothing without inner beauty. However, any inner beauty we possess is often overshadowed by the pursuit of outer beauty.

I am not saying that a little makeup is evil or that you shouldn't look after yourself and make the best of your assets, however, in recent years the concerns with our 'outer' shell seem to have taken over any concerns we have with our inner selves, the content as it were. From trying to be size 0 to wearing the latest fashion to cosmetic surgery we seem to have forgotten who we are and where we come from.

Dissembling - Age of Technology

 

 

First in a new series called "Dissembling"

dis·sem·ble  (d-smbl)

v. dis·sem·bled, dis·sem·bling, dis·sem·bles
1. To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance. See Synonyms at disguise.
2. To make a false show of; feign.
To disguise or conceal one's real nature, motives, or feelings behind a false appearance.

From The Free Dictionary

The series is about the different guises and masks we wear.

This particular image, the first in the series, is about the way technology changes us. From the internet to the way we interact with each other to the way it allows us to hide who we really are and what we look like to the effects it has on our every day lives from the way it brings us closer together to the second hand nature of many of the things we experience.

Just in case you're wondering, I don't think technology is an 'evil thing' but I think it sometimes changes and affects us and the way we live in unexpected ways and it's important to consider what is happening to us with technology more and more taking over.
