This project gets viewers to think about identity, representation, and intimacy in today’s digital world. It questions the traditional ways art and photos are displayed, pushing people to engage with the work in a hands-on, physical way. It also reflects how we exist in fragmented, multifaceted ways—like how we present ourselves when we’re alone in our bedrooms versus how we show up in public.
The dresses are made from paper, not traditional fabric, which ties into the idea that personal identity is always changing. Paper is fragile, temperamental, and recyclable—just like the way we shift and adapt who we are. The fact that the garment isn’t really useful also says something about the objects that make up our identities. So many of them feel unnecessary, but at the same time, I’m obsessed with the things we choose to own and how they reflect us.
Inspired by Glitch Feminism, this project explores identity and existence. It’s about how we inhabit the spaces we spend so much time in—our bedrooms—and how those spaces compare to the selves we show to the world.
