"We delve into surrealism to tell the story of a young man grappling with the freedom of his identity and social acceptance. His dreams become a dreamlike atmosphere, offering him an escape from daily oppression. Within this dream world, he encounters a recurring nightmare: the moon creature, a being that embodies everything he wishes to be in real life-free, authentic, and fearless."
"The duality between day and night, sun and moon, manifests in his life. By day, he hides his true self behind a facade of happiness to survive in a world that misunderstands him. But in the stillness of night, under the ethereal moonlight, his subconscious transcends physical reality, and he meets the moon creature."
Photography is by Jon Carreno with model Jonathon Luke Baker. Makeup is by Juan Urena and art direction and styling are by Noel Wals using Wolford, Vintage Best Marc Wallace, Saint Laurent, Vintage Mugler, and Capsule. Surrealism frames a narrative about a young man facing daily oppression and longing for acceptance. Dreams provide an escape and a charged atmosphere in which a recurring moon creature appears as an ideal of freedom and authenticity. Daytime requires a guarded facade of happiness to survive misunderstanding, while night offers transcendence, confrontation with desire, and the possibility of self-realization.
