Project Humanæ
She created her portrait project Humanæ in 2012[4] while studying at Spain's ETI.[5] She began with photographs of her Spanish husband, herself and their families. She then matched a strip of pixels from the noses to color cards from Pantone.[6] It is a catalogue of human skin colors that are displayed as a collage of Pantone portraits.[7] The display is intended to create a dialogue about how we see each other and how we view race, ethnicity and identity[8] and has included over 4,000 pictures of people in 17 countries and 27 cities around the world.[9] Humanæ is a traveling exhibit[10] and has been in such places as the Daelim Museum in Seoul, South Korea; the Uribitarte Promenade, in Bilbao, Spain; the Upho Urban Photo Festival in Malaga, Spain; the Museo della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci, in Milan, Italy; and Habitat III, UN Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, in Quito, Ecuador;[11] the Migration Museum in London,[12] Kingsport, Tennessee and International Photography Festival in Israel.
