Mix media collage. 12 x 18 inches.
This piece is part of the Rags to Riches collage series that explores identity and character design through the graphic language of costume and pop culture. By omitting the human figure, the series focuses on archetypes and alter egos embedded in personal style. Compositions utilize bold, color-blocked frameworks reminiscent of comic book panels to anchor fragmented garments. Ultimately, these empty costumes function as universal uniforms, inviting viewers to step into the vacant forms and project their own identities onto the image.
