♥ the mirror has two faces.

studies have shown that people are often more attracted to members of 
the opposite sex that are blessed with more clearly symmetrical features.

this idea that symmetrical faces are indeed more beautiful
 is the very basis for the art project known as "echoism" by
artist julian wolkenstein.

in her symmetrical portraits, the artist divides a person's face
in half and flips it horizontally to create two similar yet
altogether different personalities. 

source.
do you believe in this form of evolutionary psychology-
or do you like a face with a little something out of place?

10 ♥ love notes.:
