About:

Inspired by Max Ernst's Une semaine de bonté, The Underground is a collection of interwoven narratives seeking to create worlds within worlds of physical and emotional expression. Within the five sections, costumes overlap and play with images of Dada, Wonderland, a Beast, and human existence. I was personally inspired by the photography of Timothy Walker while designing this piece.
