As a member of the Lens Creator Network, the work was about constraint as a creative engine: how much expression can you load onto a face, in real time, on a phone, without losing the frame rate or the joke?
The camera as canvas
Each lens started as a single gesture and grew only if the gesture survived. The best ones disappear into play — you forget there is software between you and the image.
If it makes you smile before it loads, ship it.
