Title of the body of work: “Toy Soldiers”
Artist statement:
My work “Toy Soldiers” is a collection of black-and-white portraits infused with high fashion thus embodying a timeless beauty and elegance, where the lack of colour intensifies the focus on the subject’s expression, posture, and attire. The juxtaposition of garments with an introspective mood evokes a powerful tension between outward appearance and inner emotion. It captures a moment of solitude or self-reflection, exploring themes of self-discovery and existentialism. Through this contrast, the image speaks to identity, It captures the tension between external beauty and internal complexity, exploring the fragile balance between the polished exterior and the deeper, often contradictory layers of the self.
