This photoshoot was an exploration of gender and body dysmorphia set against a background of surrealism and found footage. I wanted to investigate experiences around feeling mismatched and fundamentally non-human, responding to the sensation and fear of being percieved by others.
The costume designs were extensions of these feelings - I implemented textures and layers for a non-human feel, and used lace and ties to hold these materials together as if something were being contained. The designs also show covered hands and feet in order to elongate the limbs.
