Projects
- Utopian Dystopian DreamFor my master project, I used fashion photograph as a spectacle to bring an issue of our society response to environmental issues. We are living in a utopian dream in a dystopian world, where environmental issues are becoming more dangerous than yesterday. We dream that everything will get better on its own and we will go back to our lives. So I have tried to create a utopian and a dystopian world in which we all live in. All of the images are shot in infrared and dystopian elements are added in post.
Projects credited in
- LCF Term Project: Walter Mitty inspired CollectionBased on a narrative, this project takes inspiration from two storylines, The Secret life of Walter Mitty meets Space Oddity. Looking into the concept of pareidolia, which is a psychological phenomenon of seeing faces in things, the narrative translates this idea into fashion. Hinting at a 60's vibe with a dreamy note, the outcome is an imaginative amalgamation of two different concepts.
