This exhibition consisted of 6 digitally drawn portraits and an interview with the subject to support each. In the interviews, we discuss the women’s lives and the role that technology plays in it. Many of the inventions people rely on today were created in a very short span of time - tens of years as opposed to hundreds. I’ve highlighted this in the portraits by exaggerating the amount of time that has elapsed between the past and now; the subjects are dressed in clothing from years gone by, but interacting with modern elements.
