Lorna Simpson is a photographer from Brooklyn, NY who's work shows the struggle of racism. Instead of exalting her black culture, she focuses on dehumanizing aspects experiences and suppression.
In her work she extracts her model's personality and individuality and appear flawless. She is consistent with her angles and focal lengths and that "cinematic constraint further activates viewers."
When I hear fantasy, I immediately think of Star Wars, only because it's the most amazing series of all time. So I'm thinking of a wearable artwork inspired by one of the many outfits worn by Padme Amidala.
