MMM is an installation that uses repetition, pattern, and graphic systems to examine how recognizable faces move through culture as images rather than people.

The work centres on three figures, Mona, Marilyn, and Madonna, whose faces have been continuously reproduced across art, media, fashion, and advertising. In MMM, their images are multiplied and embedded into geometric systems, treated as visual material rather than a singular identity.

Using methods associated with decorative surface design, the project considers repetition as a cultural tool: “pattern as persuasion”. When an image is seen everywhere, recognition can replace relationship. A person becomes an icon, then a surface, and finally, a tool, ready for use as influence.

MMM asks what remains of a person once their image becomes a pattern, and what kinds of meaning can still be placed on them once they are no longer encountered as human.

The work invites viewers to notice how “repetition and pattern shape belief”, often quietly, and without permission. “Delivery through repetition in order to persuade and influence” applies to all images, not just faces.
