Ashkan Honarvar does some amazing collage and illustration work. He explores human form and identity through a running series titled 'faces.' He looks at the darker side of human existence by looking at faces scared by war, he re-constructs faces of soldiers torn apart by the first world war. Making uncomfortable and unsettling images.
I think his work is amazing, it pushes you to stare and look into faces and images that you normally would avoid, he transforms the grotesque into something interesting that you can look at. And confronts your ability to judge and understand your conceptions of what a human face 'should' look like.
