feeling
(2020-21)

In my junior year of college, i submitted this collection as the final project for my digital photography course. It puts together feelings in the personal, emotive sense, and feelings in the textural, material sense. I consider it a beginner-level experiment with juxtaposition.

east campus / trevor

A lighthearted cotton-polyester blend to wear on a cool day. It's got a lot of spirit.
lumberjack fantasy / leah

This makes me feel like that girl who's in every movie... The one who's edgy but, aww, she has a heart of gold!
reciprocal strength / heeya

Now that I think about it, I give this jacket power in the same way that I gain power from it. Not many of my clothes do that.
playing pretend / lyndsay

What's behind that door? Do I know what's behind it or am I pretending not to know?
extended play / cj

A trustworthy cardigan. Perfect for seasoning your dinner.
coolest one / sarah

Whenever I wear this, I feel like I'm the coolest one in the room. Everyone needs a denim jacket.
mother nature / liv

I wear this dress all the time in the summer. It makes me feel like I'm connected with the earth.
parisian rave / jamie

It was literally in this old warehouse in the middle of nowhere. Dude, I thought I was gonna get kidnapped.
target adventure / natalee

I wear this when I'm going to hang out at Target with my friends. It's soft, it's comfortable, it's lightweight.
mom's closet / chen chen

I think she used to wear it to go out. I'm imagining her just having fun with her friends.
pleasant surprise / victoria

I bought this in Tokyo, actually. Whenever I wear it, I always run into someone I wasn't expecting to see.
garden picnic / multy

I love twirling around in this. There's so much freedom.
before sunrise / nicholas

It reminds me of cold mornings when I was waiting to get driven to school. When it was really early.
pool hours / mary helen

This jacket makes me feel like an adult. I always think of my mom wearing it.
fond memories / shailen

It makes me think of family, and the family I've made at Duke. I like the way it looks like a white sweater that got really dirty.
winter romance / suzanna

This dress makes me want to fall in love... Oh, I must have had this for longer than I thought!
squirmin' around / jordan

When I see this shirt, I get invigorated. My sister made it for me, but I never wear it.
fall day / mitra

This is more of a fall than winter jacket to me. Although I did wear it to a Valentine's Day party.
powerful woman / sara

I bought this today and I'm already wearing it out. It just makes me feel like I can do anything.
little demon / mihir

I wear it to a party when I know I'm gonna have a good time. I like the fractal-like patterns.
