For this project, I took, what I am calling, face to face portraits of my friends. All of these portraits were taken during a FaceTime call, a liminal space between closeness and distance, that to a certain extent, is able to bend reality.<\/p>\n

These connections, these portraits are real, but they are also imaginary. They are virtual portraits, not just digitals ones, in which the distance between the camera and the subject is not just a few feet, but thousands of miles. However, at the same time, the image lies in the palm of my hand and is captured in that same palm with a screenshot. How can an image be so close, but also so far away? How can I make a portrait of a friend when I cannot be physically with them? How do I maintain a friendship and a connection?<\/p>\n

This human connection via portraiture is what I wanted to make real.<\/p>\n
