Colorful mood
photography, digital collage
2024-2026
In the project, the main element is clothes, which sets the mood for me for the whole day. After all, clothes are not just a piece of fabric! It’s a way of communicating with the world. Color, shape, patterns and material — everything influences the choice. It’s like as if I am hiding into the thing I’m wearing, trying to disappear in a beautiful wrapper. My clothes convey the mood that I want to show the people around me, keeping back what I feel inside.
In all the photos, my face is not shown, which, firstly, symbolizes my distancing from the outside world, and, secondly, the clothes I’m wearing reflect my emotions and mood.
In order to create this collage I used several photos. The background, the head in clothes and the body in clothes were photographed separately and then combined in a graphic editor.
