Through the influences of vanity, aging, and insecurities, many
find fault with their own faces, and few achieve their own notions
of perfection. Yet in the course of such self-criticism, most
people take for granted their own ability to explore and employ the
full range of facial expressions and the emotions those expressions
convey. In "About Face", Sage Sohier's photographs portray people
who have varying degrees of facial paralysis, a condition that
usually occurs on just one side of the face and can result from a
multitude of causes, including Bell's palsy, tumors, strokes,
accidents, and congenital nerve damage. Working in a clinic in
Boston that provides physical therapy, Botox treatments, and
sometimes surgery, Sohier documents patients before treatment, and
in some cases captures their progress over time, witnessing hope
and excitement as they regain the ability to smile, speak, and eat.
