This photoshoot brings together a selection of second hand garments sourced from various thrift stores across the city. Originally collected with the intention of upcycling, the pieces revealed an unexpected dialogue with each other when placed together.

Some of them naturally connected, while others did not, which made the styling process more challenging and pushed me toward a more instinctive approach.

Instead of altering them, I kept them in their original state and pushed them into a new context through styling. The result is a dynamic composition where contrast, tension, and harmony exist at once, letting the garments speak before they were transformed into something entirely different.
