## Caption

Congratulations to Kaboompics , winner of the Experimental category at this year’s #UnsplashAwards. 

“I love this image as it has so much depth, I like the nine smaller black and white squares that present the fragmented views of different facial features, eyes, nose, and mouth, possibly belonging to the same woman or maybe multiple individuals....? 
The overall effect/feel is of deconstruction and identity, and the sullen mood of the person in the picture, creating a sense of introspection or perhaps a commentary on how we perceive and interpret facial features when separated. The contrast between the natural color of her hair and the monochrome facial fragments adds to the intriguing and artistic quality of the photograph. I also love that it connects to an old school traditional puzzle game, where you would move and shift the squares around to create a picture, potentially offering the ability to change/alter the mood of the person behind the image.  I also love that the squares with the eyes have a very deep quality and, as separate elements of the facial features, seem very intriguing.” - Sam O’Shaughnessy at sxswlondon
