In this project I wanted to capture heritage through illusion. I took photos of parts of photos and cut and pasted them to a mirror. All of the photos I used were older photos of people in my family. I lined up or layered the photos to make it seem like my eyes were their eyes, or that my face was part of their face. I wanted to use the illusion to create a connection between me and previous members of my family.
I used a tripod in order to capture this photos without assistance and without camera shake.
