Beauty Masks (2019-20)
In this photographic series of over 120 self-portraits, Henry juxtaposes images of model’s faces ripped from fashion magazines over her own face as a mask. There is a stark contrast between the retouched and made-up faces and Henry’s actual hands and body—a reminder of the commodification of idealized beauty and a reflection of the fear of death.
