Dystopia

"An inventory of a bizarre skin growth, Dystopia seems to document a pathology. It seems clear that at some level this pathology is not only dermatological, but cultural, commenting, perhaps, on the gradual but waxing loss of identity and the means of communication in a technological environment that promotes anonymity and conformity".

The intention was to suggest an evolutionary change signifying the loss of individuality in the face of advancing technology and the progressive disappearance of face-to-face, direct interaction. It makes you focus on their identity rather than how they look because their facial features are not visible. Therefore, you look at their hair, their skin colour, wrinkles etc to determine what they might look like.
