LOOSE PERSPECTIVE
Visual Arts
Loose Perspective is a collaborative photoshoot that explores the struggle of creative blocks through experimental visual storytelling. It follows an artist whose mind is taken over by a chaotic character—the 'crazy lady'—who exists within her artworks. The aim was to explore introspective narratives that carry the frustrations of these feelings while sugarcoating them with surreal, vibrant visuals to draw people into the narrative while making them think. The idea was that this woman overthinks to the point of finding herself stuck inside drawings, blurring the lines between drawn things and real things.
Often, when I go through a creative block, I feel like the worst version of myself—nervous, insecure, and brutally critical. It’s a phase where my instincts seem to have disappeared, and my only mission becomes scrutinizing every visual I’ve ever drawn, thought about but didn’t draw—essentially, every visual that lives in my head.
The crazy lady that lives in my head, stuck in the drawings I made.
A million visits to this forever-unfamiliar territory, where reality feels like a lucid dream.
Constantly reminding myself this is just a phase and this too shall pass.
Knowing it'll pay a visit again. Maybe the same, maybe in some other way.
PROCESS SNIPPETS: This project began as small sketches in my notes, which later evolved into a collaboration. I worked with three artists to bring the shoot to life, and I loved the idea of everyone contributing toward a shared vision.
