You probably thought I was kidding when I said the female versions took as much transforming magic as the male ones. Here's the proof!

@iftikhar.ul.hassan04 being amazing and giving me the full glam look!

Happy Pride Month!! The All These Faces Are Mine s

Happy Pride Month!! The All These Faces Are Mine shoot was meant to provoke questions around gender and our perceptions and stereotypes. I think the categories we give ourselves are far too limiting, and one of the reasons I wanted to do this shoot was to explore my own identity as non-binary. In this Pride month, be kind to each other, and celebrate diversity!

This is my transformation into the male version of the characters, as done by the amazing @iftikhar.ul.hassan04 .

Last but not least...the fourth character in All These Faces Are Mine: Candy!

Candy definitely thinks they were born in the wrong century, and throws speakeasy parties in their basement.

Midnight Rose, version female.

Believe me, becoming the female version of these characters took almost as much work as the male version! :D I’ll share transformation videos once the pictures are released!

Introducing the third character in All These Faces

All These Faces Are Mine is an experimental shoot meant to challenge, question, and explore our perceptions and assumptions around gender. It presents four characters, which each presenting as both male and female.

The boss is in.

All These Faces Are Mine is a collaboration between me, @emergencestudios and @iftikhar.ul.hassan04 and features four different characters as seen from both sides of the gender spectrum. This is Borchia, or Boss. Stay tuned to meet the next character tomorrow…!!

Now, the other side of the coin. This too is Borchia. I like to think they choose their face depending on the job that needs to get done.

(While you may find this Borchia sparks less cognitive dissonance, I can assure you she is as far from ‘me’ as the other.)

And….here we go! I’m delighted, proud, scared, and thrilled to introduce to you “All These Faces Are Mine”, an editorial collaborative shoot between me, @iftikhar.ul.hassan04 and @emergencestudios , to investigate the stereotypes, boundaries, and expectations of gender.

You’ll be meeting four different characters over the next several days. We start with “Borchia” - this name means only Boss in Italian, and I think you’ll agree - this is a boss, and is not to be crossed!

Another teaser of my upcoming collaboration with @art10studio ! This one I’m calling The Chameleon, but I need a better name…any ideas?

The dance I used for these pieces blends in a few elements of the traditional Apsara dance of Cambodia with contemporary to honor Nettra’s origins and the spirit/inspiration of the lotus.

That’s it for teasers for now...can’t wait to share the final product with you!

The thing about creating new things, is that you have to take a risk - if you know how it’s going to turn out, you aren’t pushing yourself far enough!

Experimenting with projections and combining visual art with dance in an all-new collaboration with my friend @nettragram and her amazing art @art10studio.
I’ll be sharing more teasers soon! 🤩
