It's okay to feel a bit unsettled the first time you check out Romina Ressia's 'What Do You Hide?'. The Argentine photographer's series isn't designed to make you feel weird by camouflaging humans with fabric. According to Ressia, the inspiration for the project came from the fact that people often hide what they're feeling in certain situations or around certain people.
Each of Romina Ressia's subjects are wrapped completely in fabric, with a few human touches added. Some people get to show their hair while others are given accessories to put on top of their wraps. The result is an incredible series of photos that may make you consider holding your tongue the next time you're in mixed company.
