Snakes periodically shed their skins in a process called ecdysis as they develop and grow—leaving behind a casing which once encompassed them, a history of where they have been and remnants of what they once were. While the process is not usually so apparent in humans, it is one that we too go through as different aspects of our identity and presentation no longer fit or serve us. These sheddings combine skins that are wrappings of each person, their cast off clothing and belongings are interwoven with imagery they’ve shared on social media (which while recorded ostensibly forever, are often forgotten as soon as the next shareable moment comes along) to create abstract portraits of who they once were—inarguably unique to the individual, but oblique when seen without context or history. Facades on the other hand are the armor we still wear—those pieces of identity that we choose to emphasize and inhabit, what we choose to show the world and the things that we use to protect our soft and intimate parts.
