A play on todays self-importance. Interpreting frequently observed female images on social media without the material assets such as clothes, pouts, accessories, without the “instagram worthy” setting. A template, that could be anyone and everyone, creating a relatability amongst women. A sort of a mannequin that can take on any image required - whether it is serious, playful or melancholic.
“The Melancholic“ represents a typology of women which are sensual and romantic, often in need of love, in need of a partner. Not fully confident in their own skin, often underestimating themselves, no matter how beautiful of a human they might be.
These mannequin series are composed of simplified shapes and basic colours to emphasise the playfulness as well as a reminder not to take yourself too seriously. They work with contrast and empty space which ironically is filled with vibrant colour.
