  • Steel In Motion
    Steel In MotionIn this shoot we explore a nuanced retro futurism, focusing on the tension between the past, the present and the future. The revolving nature of trend and aesthetic can act as a reminder not to view these as three disconnected constructs, but rather, the product of a continual, immutable interaction. Just as with the advent of mobile phones, AI has hit its stride as a technology that threatens to upend our world. We are living in the future, and as always, it looks more like the present than any
  • Sacred Dissent
    Sacred DissentThis collection explores the ideological dichotomy between the Catholic Church and philosophers such as Voltaire and Kant during the age of enlightenment. The budding philosophical movement pushed logic, reason and utility, undermining the authority of the Monarchy and the Church. We are living in the aftermath of this cognitive shift, and the question becomes, did we transfer from one authoritarian governance to another?
