This project explores adornment as a form of bodily ornamentation showcasing it as an extension of self.

I wanted the series of images developed throughout, to evoke a statement, as fashion isn’t subjected to only clothing but also how we choose to visually manifest and embellish our persona. The way we adorn ourselves is a reflection of who we are, who we aspire to be, and the cultural narratives that we weave around our bodies. My work captures these personal and communal stories, using the body as a site where identities are expressed.

Using the base of printed photographs, I altered their appearance using unconventional materials and paint, introducing texture and vibrancy. The technique and process used display a play on the organic and artificial.
