Female characters in literature and film are predominantly written in a stereotypical way, with little agency or depth. These patterns don't just reflect a sexist culture, instead they reinforce it. It matters for women and girls to see complex characters that represent them, not just recycled archetypes built around a patriarchal gaze. This gets worse when you consider how few women and queer voices are actually behind the camera or on the page. This project maps a selection of character tropes onto specific figures from film and literature, and the images are deliberately cold and still, figures that feel closer to empty shells than real people, because that's exactly what they are.

That time when tomorrow still shimmered with optimism, when chrome reflected more than light, it reflected faith. A fashion story photographed by Piotr Rulka starring July Jones.

Trapped between desire and rebellion, a visceral exploration of raw instincts, confined spaces, and fractured realities. Latex, mannequins, and stark walls set the stage for a feral yet calculated unraveling. A story by Saskia Kovandzich and Zoe Hilditch.
