Concept: Close-Up of a woman's face showing her internal struggle with self-doubt. She's feeding into the idea of the imposter syndrome without realising that all of this is essentially a part of herself and her evolution and growth as a person, eventually debunking the concept of "faking it" to make it.
You first see her with her mask up faking it(L to R), with the mask slowly peeling and revealing that she’s a mess underneath. In the final artwork you see her then transitioning to a normal state because she’s okay with herself and she's learned to accept herself as she is.
