Wendy Campbell explains Takahiro Kimura's "Broken Face" collages:
Since 1991, Kimura has been creating own unique style of collages (with a focus on faces) that depicts the complicated nature of the human spirit through peculiar physical distortions.
Lomography has more:
Kimura also creates these “faces” for his Foster Parent Project, in which he attempts to “compare creative work to a child—in as literal, diverse, and simutaneously humane sense as possible.” This way, he plays the role of a “biological parent” to a work of art that becomes his “child.” Consequently, someone who purchases a “child” becomes not a mere collector, but a “foster parent.” He even requests buyers to complete a Child Information Form as part of the project, where they will name their “foster child” and even state how they intend to raise the “child” up.
