PHOTOGRAPH: KMAC Couture 2021.

"Photograph" — KMAC Couture 2021. Winner of Honorable Mention in the Scholastics Regional Art and Writing Competition, this piece explores photography’s evolving role in the digital age. Inspired by J. Cole’s Photograph, it layers vintage polaroids over a Victorian-era cage crinoline, contrasted with a modern satin gown, reflecting on nostalgia, social media, and the curation of identity.
