Cultural Influences
How does culture affect the human being?
Everyone is born in any culture. The own culture is subconsciously internalized, but we are also affected
by foreign cultures. We may subconsciously use manners, features, thoughts, etc. of cultures from anywhere. This is mostly shown by our exterior. In my Project I show different foreign cultures unified by overlaying
them with our familiar culture. Foreign cultures are figured as native portraits of each culture and symbolism.
The familiar culture is shown as self portrait. Reflection of the halves of the face are special features to give
the illustration a mask-like look.
This project was made for my second semester media design studies.
