Where did the Faceless Businesswoman come from?
The Faceless Businesswoman project originally came to me when I saw a friend's iPod Shuffle that was the perfect shade of green that reminded me of the painting "Son of Man" (aka the Faceless Businessman) by René Magritte. I borrowed the iPod and took a picture with my sister holding the iPod to block her face, but I didn’t love the outcome and I knew the idea would be narrowed to only people I could meet in person.
As I knew I wanted this project to be bigger than this limit, I left it to swim around in the recesses of my brain for six years. This summer (2022) I was showering to drown out my average brain noise to think more creatively and had an epiphany as to how I could use the little green iPod in a way that felt true to myself, the project, and what I wanted- to shine a light on really amazing people - working women who inspire me and others in their lives.
