This subject and gesture came to me in a recurring dream during the 2020 Pandemic Shutdown and has inspired much of my sculpture and self assigned work since. I don't entirely know what it means. Only that it felt important to make and shoot. I spent a good couple of months teaching myself geometry and making prototypes before I landed here.

The portrait was shot with practical effects in studio and color graded in post. I wanted it to feel otherworldly like a dream, but remain anchored to our actual real life production space. If you look closely you will see gaffer's tape on the floor, marking where we typically run autopoles for seamless backgrounds, and nail holes / wear and tear in the drywall backdrop. 

I made both the geometric mask and long black dress. The dress was sewn from landscaping fabric in two parts. The skirt portion measured over 9ft long -- accounting for the length of the 6'2" model's legs and a 4' tall step ladder. The top is composed of 10' long strands of fabrics spun around the subject in a loose almost toga fashion. The mask was made from painted paper mache and cardboard.
