"Every day we see hundereds of faces, but our own we only see in the relection of a mirror, or a photo." As she twists her faces to find more under their surface, they become "a bit more honest, but it still doesn't get us closer to ourselves."
So in the end, be it through reassembling fragments, siding an image with an altered double to fade the boarders between original and copy, or by covering different faces with her hand, she always returns to her deeper questions:
What is the authentic original? How can we know? And what happens to the copy?
