Oh Dolly, 2023
Oh Dolly playfully reimagines femininity through a nostalgic yet subversive lens, drawing from 1960s mod aesthetics. The series merges high-fashion editorial styling with doll-like poses, blurring the line between artifice and authenticity. Models appear both mannequin-like and self-aware, frozen in curated perfection yet subtly breaking character.
With pastel tones, structured yet dynamic compositions, and exaggerated gestures, the images evoke the hyper-feminized world of vintage advertisements while challenging its constraints. The subjects embody the tension between being adorned and autonomous, styled and self-possessed.
By blending nostalgia with quiet rebellion, Oh Dolly critiques the performance of femininity, questioning the roles imposed by visual culture while inviting a more fluid interpretation of identity.
