Brazilian artist Angelica Dass created the visually stunning project Humanæ, a project that reflects on the colors beyond the borders of our codes by referencing the PANTONE® color scheme. The ongoing portraiture project takes a sample of 11×11 pixels of the model’s face and then matches it to the exact PANTONE® tone. The background is then dyed to the exact tone. All of Angelica’s projects deepen in an important issue: social, cultural and racial identity.
