For years, I’ve worked closely with models, capturing them as living mannequins for the fashion industry. Yet, this role has always conflicted with my deeper understanding of their essence. This tension gave rise to my concept: “The Ethereal Ghost of the Female.”
I began to see my models not just as canvases but as ethereal ghosts—always visible yet never truly seen for who they are.
Ethereal – A true, pure beauty that transcends the physical, enchanting in its aesthetic while stripping away the aggression often tied to eroticism.
Ghost – A fragmented presence, a fleeting entity that exists across the past, present, and future, naturally fading between these realms.
Female – The most powerful force within the human race.
