Id400 (#201-300)
In *Id400 (#201-300)*, Tomoko Sawada presents one hundred gelatin silver prints seamlessly combined into a single sweeping composition, each image depicting the artist herself transformed through subtle variations in hair, makeup, and expression. The work explores the fluid and constructed nature of identity, demonstrating how small cosmetic and stylistic shifts can produce the illusion of entirely different individuals. Through this meticulous repetition and self-portraiture, Sawada challenges the reliability of visual recognition and the societal codes that define personal and cultural identity.
