Facial Signature by Japanese photographer Tomoko Sawada is an encompassing exhibition, commanding of space and time, nuanced with differences in cosmetics and character dispositions in each portrait.  The 300 self-portraits of Tomoko explore the cultural projection of generalized ethnicity which has been, by far, too economized to serve justice the vast difference between women in the South Eastern Asian area.  Tomoko is exploring those aesthetic differences of women with her own transformation.  She is Japanese but was often regarded as Mongolian, Taiwanese, Chinese, only to mention a few, during her time spent in New York City.  After 3 years of contextualizing the concept, Tomoko completed the project entirely in only 10 days of photographing herself.  99.9999% of humans share the same genes.  Aesthetics are what differentiates us, at least on our surface. 

Hats off to ROSEGALLERY in Santa Monica for the groundbreaking installation. It was an honor to have been a part of this exhibition of this work.  © Tomoko Sawada / Photography by Elizabeth Cara
