This project explores how fashion, makeup and styling act as tools for self-expression and identity. Drawing from my personal experience as a twin, I reflect on how we assert individuality through appearance. A key focus is the passport photo, a format that is rigid and expressionless yet meant to define us. By challenging it through photography, moving image and styling, I reflect on the fluidity of identity and how visual cues shape how we’re seen.
