My idea is to photograph illusion. As a child i loved magic and wanted to be a magician myself so i learnt a lot of the basic tricks found in magic books etc, One of these tricks was how to make the emotionless face of the Queen on notes smile or be sad. I decided to photograph this stage by stage without showing the creases that have to be made as a magician never reveals his secrets.

I think both emotions can sybolise different feelings about money for example, when she smiles it symbolises the happiness people experience when they get money and the strive people have to get it. But the picture of her frowning could show how many people feel that money is the route of all evil and is ruining the nature of peoples dreams and lives and that there is more to life.
