Homo Naturans 360

Invited by visionary photographer Eric Paré to work with his Xangle technology we decided to experiment and create a series of 360° bullet photography. This project will give me the opportunity to introduce an early version of my characters to the public. The Homo Naturans 360 photography project will be a first attempt to give a face to this harmonious species inspired by the texts of scientific philosophers and historians that dare to foresee centuries ahead.

Bird of Paradise These wearables are inspired by the flamboyant male tendencies of the animal world such as the Peacocks and the Birds of Paradise displays for courtship. The wearable, performative sculptures package and decorate the body in ways which have been been thoroughly feminized in our patriarchal culture. These sculptures are reliant on the performer for it’s activation allowing for the form to shift over time, engaging in a constant flux.
