Photography

These photographs i took after i had constructed my dresses. The idea was to photograph them in a way that i bring them down to forms being seen and read other than what they physically are and how the induvidual viewer draws their own interpretations to what my idea of death is and how i have portrayed it. The photography was done both with a model and without it , in which the images serve as complete contrasts to each other both visually and contextually as the meaning changes altogether by just the body being present in one and absent in the other.They serve as a metaphor to my perception of death yet on the other hand the viewer imbues meaning into the visual depending on their own visual perception of it but what is connected to my idea largely. for e.g. some read it as a dead animal , some specifically a goat, some hair and so on.....

The forms act as narratives ...... giving a feeling of "being staged" to evoke a feeling.(photographs without model).

* the last photograph is incomplete and in its initial stages.was left to be worked on later.
