APRIL ISSUE
2024
April Issue delves into the complexities of personal identity and self-expression in today’s digital landscape. Through the use of self-portraiture, a series of poses and outfits are curated, drawing inspiration from the aesthetic language of Vogue fashion spreads. The creation process involves photographing from multiple perspectives and meticulously editing the images to construct a layered montage that embodies facets of ethnicity, personality, and individual perspectives. The image invites viewers to contemplate the intricate layers that constitute one’s sense of self in the digital age, while also prompting reflection on the evolving relationship between technology, fashion, and personal identity. Themes of fluidity, multiplicity, and self-presentation are presented in the work through staged details, repetition, costume, and pose. This heavily constructed image invites the viewer to re-evaluate the role of technology in shaping ideas of authenticity and the self.
