The Back Story

Young Man and a Tree

Connection with nature through clothes and stories

s part of a fashion and graphic design project, I utilized clothing and photography to convey stories. The clothes brought to the class served as my inspiration, with their captivating materials, shapes, and colors. As I styled each garment on the model's body, I envisioned a striking color combination that caught the eye: pink against a backdrop of black attire. This juxtaposition evoked thoughts of nature and the concept of connection, control, and puppetry. The resulting imagery transports viewers to an illusionary world crafted through the art of styling. To further enhance the illusion, I covered the model's eyes with a soft black fabric belt, adding layers of depth to both my world and that of the viewer. Ultimately, this photography art aims to ignite imagination and evoke visual storytelling.

About

My passion for storytelling and art led me to pursue a career both in art and filmmaking. I want to touch people’s emotions through my work that explores memory, gender, female identity, and personal experience. What inspires me to create my artwork is every day and memory, readings about philosophies such as Judith Butler, Laura Mulvey, bell hooks, and many other feminist writers. The creative process starts with my own thinking that leads to a concept of the artwork, researching certain social and political issues that concern me at that moment. After the research, I get inspiration from materials to make a sculpture, my surrounding, and my experience to write stories for filmmaking. My works stand out because of the strong concept behind the work. The concept has to give impact and the visual to be bold.
My journey in art began because of the need to express my abstract thought and personal conflicts from being unable to articulate myself well. I was drawn by colors, in particular how colors can be used to show our emotions.

The Process

It was still a memorable process that I made a few prints of this photography. Not only because of the concept of using clothes, styling, and photography as the main subject, this method was freeing and imaginative. The project was fulfilling because of the experimentation element of it, where I use my hands to touch, make, and draw. I styled, directed, and photographed this project.
