I am most intrigued by the larger topic of 'Women' and enjoy exploring it from different angles and highlighting the problems women are regularly faced with, I also love incorporating different aesthetics into my work often inspired by the mid 20th century film, media and fashion.

My project assesses the skewed fantasies created by the male gaze and how that can often lead to endangering women. I am trying to bring attention to some of the issues women are confronted with in public spaces daily, as well as experimenting with establishing the POV of a man at the start of the film. I also explored filming techniques, colour grading and aesthetics used by John-Luc Godard and other filmmakers of the 1950s and 60s, which I attempted to recreate in my film.

Final work

La Flâneuse (FMP 2025)

Final film outcome for the Final Major Project.

White dress I sewed as a costume for my final film project which was inspired by the 1950s/ early 60s.

Costume

I sewed this dress as a costume for my independent short film exploring issues with male gaze. I created the pattern, toile and then the final dress.

Research and process

A zine made out of collage materials exploring issues with the male gaze.

This was a zine I made presenting the beginning stages of my concept around the dangers women can face in public spaces due to the male gaze.
