Takeover

Takeover is a photographic work featuring a mannequin divided into two contrasting

sections. One side remains minimal and functional, while the other is covered with

layered fabrics and brand logos; this side represents the accumulated social meanings

attached to clothing.My purpose in creating this work is to explore how clothing extends beyond utilitarian

function and becomes a tool for constructing identity. Rather than separating appearance

and inner self, the work examines how the two continuously influence each other. The

fragmented collage surface represents the aggregation of social expectations, status,

and recognition attached to fashion.
