Up close and personal is a series of intimate photographs depicting a complicated relationship with clothing and an exploration of identity and consumerism.

​

This piece features my most memorable items of clothing in order of events, each telling a story. The way the clothes are hung signify some particular memory, too personal to share. The audience are open to wonder about their hidden meanings.   ​

​

The word 'consumerism' makes me think of clothes consuming us and becoming a part of our identity. Consumerism has taken up a large part of our lives that I feel we have lost touch with everything else important. We only see the clothes for what they are, not past memories or traumas.
