Ideation

I wanted to focus on the facial features because I think that these are the parts of the face that basically communicate everything. You can consider the rest of the face less necessary. And since I've been staring at my face all day on Zoom, I've become super self conscious, so why not just get rid of everything unnecessary on my face and just replace it with something more interesting.
