Why are there more sad imprints on an old man’s face?
What life imprints will be reflected in my face?
The face is a passageway of expressing or pouring out one’s emotion and at the same time, it is an individual’s collection of reflections of an universal human being.
The face is what God gave us with an uncompleted empty space which keeps on filling with imprints of an unperceivable time and placed emotion one-by-one in time.
Also because it reflects a specific experience, a response and an attitude of the experience, a changing expression of emotional changes, the face records a time.
A face, a contained space is filled with the data, which becomes of a coming and going of many signals and movements from the moment when one started to breathe.
Because of that, maybe it seems that beyond an individual’s history, an old man’ face is like a blueprint of settled areas and reality without any filtration.
At the same time, old men’s face is a data of important time in history and it needs to be a collection: an indicator of contemporary sanctity.
No one can just be an old man by his will.
Imprints of face, an abstracted and an extensive concept like an ungraspable, invisible, or untouchable memory that can be seen from old men’s faces will be expressed through observation and contemplation by a performance of sounds and gestures.
Not only would I like to express life’s imprints of a face, in which an individual time and history are reflected, but also, through each other’s communication of imprints, I would like to find other imprints of a communication.
