This series was born from my love for surreal beauty — where sweetness meets something unsettling.
A doll-like girl in a pink corset holding a skull, and a fragile boy trapped in a glittering cage — both caught between fantasy and reality.
I wanted to play with that fine line between beauty and distortion, softness and discomfort.
