"The model's captivating movement and appearance hide the fact that she is fully dressed in human hair. I designed and made this look stitching each blonde lock together by hand. The hair was a deeply personal choice signifying danger. The dance is a visual representation of the Sirens' hypnotic allure. She is an ambiguous man-eating siren. The non-human mythical embodiment of female rage, revenge and justice."
"This editorial reimagines these avian creatures as a symbol of justice for voices which have been silenced. Focusing upon victims of violence, shamed and ostracised by society. My work empowers these victims by following the story of the siren. This series challenges viewers to confront the potential for beauty to become lethal. Standing as an artistic exploration of the weaponisation of seduction. Exploring the primal and transformative dynamic through four visual chapters: "The Seductress, "Eaten Death, "Fluidity and "Rebirth"."
An editorial reimagines mythological sirens as avian creatures embodying retribution and justice for silenced victims of violence. The series reframes seduction as a weaponized force used to confront societal shaming and ostracism. The work empowers survivors by tracing a siren narrative across four visual chapters: The Seductress, Eaten Death, Fluidity and Rebirth. Costuming and styling incorporate unsettling materials—hand-stitched human hair and silk concealing blades—to juxtapose beauty with lethal danger. Imagery emphasizes sharp edges beneath soft layers and a primal, piercing gaze. The project examines the transformation of seductive allure into a mechanism of revenge and protection.
