The Teardrop Pear Beauty Parlour

Samuel Fosso’s vibrant self-portraits influenced the colour and outfit choices here, as well as the fashion of musicians Prince, Freddie Mercury, Bad Bunny and Frank Ocean. Remedios Varo’s Vegetable Cathedral and Discovery of a Mutant Geologist along with Hedy Lamarr's inventing table inspired the alchemical, magical objects. Frida Kahlo’s Henry Ford Hospital impacted the extracting of nail varnish from the vines, illustrating the idea of everything going in a cycle and working together.
