Statement

It might be argued that gender is a concept imposed by society.

The inspiration for my collection came from the stage play and movie Orlando about a member of English nobility who is born a male in the 16th century and who mysteriously changes into a woman and lives for centuries without visibly ageing.

I used light and shadow as well as black and white and contrasting materials to represent and blur gender boundaries and sexual characteristics.

I propose femininity and masculinity as a fluid and interchangeable choice rather than an inherent reality.
