Humanae project
As per the Humanae project Tumblr:
Humanæ is a chromatic inventory, a project that reflects on the colors beyond the borders of our codes by referencing the PANTONE® color scheme.
The project development is based on a series of portraits whose background is dyed with the exact Pantone® tone extracted from a sample of 11x11 pixels of the portrayed´s face. The project’s objective is to record and catalog all possible human skin tones.
Brazilian artist Angélica Dass explains, in her words, how the inspiration for the Humanae project came from her family roots.
"I am the granddaughter of a 'black' and 'native' Brazilian and the daughter of a 'black' father adopted by a 'white' family. So, I am a mixture of diverse pigments. Humanae is a pursuit for highlighting our true color rather than the untrue Red and Yellow, Black and White."
To see the incredible ongoing and extensive Humanae project vist the Tumblr page and to see more of Angélica Dass' work visit her website.
