While staying at Chateau dβOrquevaux () for their artist residency, I wanted to try something I havenβt done since I was a kid: designing.
Before getting into photography, I wanted to be a fashion designer/stylist. That was my childhood dream for a very long time, and then I later realized that wasnβt my passion and career path anymore. So when I met Frederico (), an Argentinian wire sculpture artist I met at the residency, I decided to get into designing again and see if he was open to bringing my idea to life. Thankfully, he was open to it, and in exchange, I took photos of a wire sculpture that he was working on at the residency. I chose Naja (), an interdisciplinary artist and fellow ATLien that I also met at the residency, to be the model for the bra. I was inspired by Fredericoβs vibrant, whimsical art style and the iconic cone bra that Jean Paul Gaultier designed for Madonna for her Blonde Ambition World Tour in 1990.
Being at the residency showed me that I had free will to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and just be free to create β and it didnβt have to be photography. In a way, I felt like this was the perfect way to connect with my inner child and give her something special. π¦
