Okay, I know this is weird... It required a very old National Geographic magazine and Citra Solv® orange-scented cleaner. The process is that you open up the magazine, find pages that appeal to you, and spritz them with Citra Solv®. You close up the magazine, mooshing the pages together. About 15 minutes later you begin opening the pages. The inks have run, pages have stuck together, and the results are often bizarre, abstract, weird, and fascinating. Sometimes the photos on the page are readily apparent (albeit altered) and sometimes they're completely obscured.
In this case, the face was partly obscured. I photographed the altered magazine page and then added a texture layer to muck up the image even more than it was. To me it now looks like a woman peering through a window, perhaps through a sheer curtain, on a train, at night. Fun stuff!
