Faux Couture

"Faux Couture" was inspired by The Emperor's New Clothes. The artwork, featuring a naked emperor on his throne, playfully re-imagines the fable's iconic scene, inviting viewers to ponder the pitfalls of vanity and the courage required to confront deception. Through this visual reinterpretation, I aimed to evoke introspection, promote authenticity, and challenge our collective tendency to blindly accept popular opinions, while celebrating the wisdom of questioning the status quo and embracing our true selves. This artwork was created with portrait photography, digital painting & ai.
