This series focuses on expressing how the world is our pageant show, that even in our most mundane ritualistic moments we can feel the pressure to be perfect. The Crystal face speaks of the vulnerabilities we have and it acts as an armour, a shell we have learnt to protect ourselves with from the exhaustive cycle of being compared to the constantly fluctuating barometer that is society's beauty ideals.
