private lives vs public lives

The image we put out to the public using fashion and make up verses how our mannerisms change in our private spaces. Our body language changes in a space where we are comfortable, how would this work if I took the image of a girl in the comfort of her own personal space stripping off the make up she needs to present herself in public, and put this raw vulnerable image in an incredibly public space. In reality this would never happen, the girl would need her proper clothes, make up, and particular mannerisms to be comfortable sitting in public, therefore there is going to be something wrong with the image. But viewers may not be able to put their finger on it. I dont want the images of the public spaces to be hyper realistic, as this is a collage, and by the theory of collage it does not necessarily have to "fit" or make "sense". So I want to embrace that, using different mediums and different stylistic methods to underline this difference between one time frame and another.

Private lives:
A couple in the privacy of the bedroom
How they act in public vs private
people stripping off their daytime persona: the suit, the make up, the heels, the dress, the up do hair style,

going to bed, sitting in bed after a long day, the body language we see here vs the body language we see in public
relationships with cosmetics, especially as they affect self-image
