This still-life photography captures my favorite handbag.
The concept for this still-life studio photography, originated from my photo gallery. The initial, absurd phone snapshot captured my interest with the hand-bag combination, emphasized by the transparent plastic of the cheap click-clasp bag through which my hand is visible.
This image is meant to ironically highlight my dislike of handbags, reinforced in the final photo by rings, nail polish, a silky shirt, and dramatic shadows—elements reminiscent of a handbag advertisement.
The work subtly questions gender roles shaped by the fashion industry, while the contrast between the cheap and the luxurious pokes fun at the luxury industry and critiques consumer culture.
