Her face is a surreal stack of three overlapping expressions—each layered transparently with distinct makeup styles clashing and blending. One set of eyes is lined thickly and gazes left, another repeated half-sized with glitter shadow floats above a repeated mouth smeared with different vibrant lip colors. These fragmented layers shift in opacity, creating an unnatural triplicate visage caught between moods. Scattered around her head float cutout snippets: torn lipstick ad fragments, swatches of highlighter glowing softly against soft pastel paper patterns, all taped and collaged with visible rough edges and adhesive tape strips. Her skin texture remains richly detailed beneath these overlays—visible pores, tiny freckles, and subtle wrinkles give tactile authenticity. Her hair is cropped tightly, ink marks and xerox grain dancing over it, while her plain blouse blends into a halftone—ripped paper and sticker borders frame the chaotic composition. This portrait reverberates with 1990s underground zine energy, scanned and physically constructed rather than digitized.
