A Weeping Flower for The Lonely

RHS Chelsea Flower Show, London May 2022

In this work I combined my passions for creative collaborations, fashion styling, photography, wellbeing, gardening, recycling and sustainability.

The make-up design with real flower petals are my model's tears for those still imprisoned by social distancing. I freestyled the model my veiled-messenger, someone who offers comfort and aid to others in times of trouble, in fine fabrics and accessorised her with an antique English flowerpot by a Staffordshire factory from c.1870-1900 to demonstrate the fragility in society.

I used some symbolism in every frame as I carefully curated the mood and feeling in each image.
