Gracie Kendal is a second life artist. She tries to create as many avatars as possible. These portraits illustrate the idea of anonymity and personality.This is kindda special because she wants to define the online identity.People like avatars mostly through movies, video games. An avatar is a virtual representation.Moreover, second life is a place to offer people the freedom to express their own dreams and explore changing identity. People use those avatars to escape from reality.
This project includes many different portraits, which represent different personalities and lives. I think each of the avatar has its own meaning, maybe presenting an ideal person such as fabulous, beautiful, modern, sexy, strong, powerful,.. or abstract person such as evil, ugly, weak,.. to give them freedom and a boundery that is not yet accepted in real physical life.
