Digital Flesh explores the possibility of a living cosmetic system that transforms with the body.
Make-up that could respond to emotional and physical changes in the body, through shifts in temperature, perspiration, tear chemistry and facial expression.
The cosmetic becomes something alive with it: a material that changes, reacts and develops through interaction.
The butterfly motif reflects the project's interest in transformation as a form of expression.
