Cosplay

Cosplay is a term used to describe an subculture originating in Japan where people dress up as their favorite characters, often from Anime and Manga. This series uses a series of self portraits to explore a westerners place/displacement in Japan and their relationship with Japanese culture. Rather than picking characters from fiction I mimic characters from Japanese history and modern society as I see it..
