Context
This project explores headpieces as symbolic extensions of identity — objects where fashion, Surrealism, and the
subconscious intersect. Historically, hats have functioned as tools of self-definition, particularly for women,
enabling individuality, social signalling, and quiet subversion. Here, they are reimagined as psychological
artefacts rather than accessories.
Concept
Across eight illustrated studies, I investigated dream logic, distortion, and material ambiguity. Unconventional
forms, textures, and colour states transform each headpiece into an otherworldly construct — less fashion object,
more state of mind. Each piece is designed to feel emotionally charged, slightly unsettling, and deliberately
symbolic, inviting the viewer into an inner landscape rather than a style narrative.
Availability
Selected works from the series are available as collectible pieces on
ANASAEA
and via
Saatchi Art.
Licensing available on request.
Atmospheric Mind — A volumetric headpiece shaped to convey emotional distance and clarity, transforming softness and expansion into a spatial metaphor for calm, detachment, and contemplation.
Echo Chamber — A resonant headpiece designed to visualise internal reflection, using layered curvature and density to suggest thought looping, memory retention, and introspection.
Bloom State — A botanical-inspired construct where fashion adopts organic logic, suggesting growth, protection, and renewal.
Cognitive Halo — A headpiece structured as a mental amplifier, where concentric textures and radiating mass evoke heightened perception, intensity, and sensory overload.
Fragile Monument — A headpiece built around exaggerated softness and scale, where delicacy becomes structural, proposing vulnerability as a deliberate and commanding psychological stance.
Pressure Shell — A compressed headpiece form expressing containment and intensity, using closed volume and texture to suggest suppressed emotion, internal tension, and controlled force.
Signal Crown — A sculptural headpiece conceived as a visual alert system, where exaggerated volume and radial elements transform the head into a focal point of intention, authority, and psychological presence.
