Distorted identities

In the search for meaning beyond the mundane routine of everyday life, we often find altered state of consciousness to access this world, but this experience is fleeting, leaving us with a sense of longing for more. Inspired by this concept, I have created an editorial photoshoot that captures this sense of fleeting beauty and interconnectedness of the past and present.

As our subconscious comes out to play, reality and dream fuse together, shrouded in ambiguity. Inspired by the psychedelic and surreal aesthetics of the 70s, the shoot creates a harmonious space, overflowing with color, pattern, and multiple perspectives. It’s a visual feast for the senses, evoking the experience of rediscovery – seeing the world for the first time.
