Fashion Demons is a series that emerged during the pandemic as a reflection of the exposed shadows of the world, the collective psyche, and the invisible realms we rarely perceive. Using a playful and symbolic visual language, I introduce figures of demons, deities, and gods that intervene in fashion magazine layouts invading the images and giving them a new life, new stories, and an alternate dimension that completely transforms their meaning.
