THE REFLECTION

Furthering the development of my trend, I began looking into colour. I wanted my colour palette and materials to represent my trend and possess a strong compatibility. This led me into further developments of my trend as I appointed “THE REFLECTION” as the focal point, “THE REFLECTION” serves as the new identity, revealing that our identities will no longer be concealed by the piece of material that covers half of our face. The visual to the left communicates this idea of the damage to the coat being irreversible, but the reflection mirroring a brighter future in another universe, this also acts as a reference to the damage of planet earth.

Combining the development of my trend concept with the focal point – ‘THE REFLECTION’, I began to engage with the idea of collecting primary photos with the support of a photoshoot to finalize the representation of what we would look like on Mars. The materials used in this shoot consist of reflective materials ONLY due to ‘THE REFLECTION’ being the primary focus, this included materials and objects such as tinfoil, reflective jacket etc. Experimenting with different lighting enabled me to capture the reflectiveness and the metallic shine of which will exist as the mirror of a better tomorrow.

As reflective materials exist for the purpose of increasing visibility in the darkness, I concocted the idea of the reflectiveness of our clothing also being our safety protector from the unprecedented events on Mars.
