The inspiration for the pieces is the main character from the book “The Picture of Dorian Grey”, by Oscar Wilde, and his transformations. It’s all about the “faces” people put on to deal with life. It’s about each person’s ability to adapt, compromise, cover his/hers true nature in order to cope and sometimes achieve goals.
