"This project began as a kind of curiosity about the missing people ads I receive in the mail. I would tear them out from the coupon newsprint booklets stuffed in my mailbox every week. I’d look at the faces and wonder where these people came from and why they may have run away. Computer generated images speculating what they might look like in the future were disconcerting and made me think that perhaps if that’s what someone wanted them to become, maybe that’s why they ran away. I started to collect them. Stories and conjectures piled up. Now I have over 200 of these snippets that represent human lives. Much later I came upon an ad in an old magazine that asked, “Has your identity already been stolen?” and it seemed to belong with all these lost faces. I used a few of these clippings, blown up and in the spirit of identity, I decided to insert AI faces, modeling them, aging them and yes, sometimes trying to imbue them with soul."
