Like Someone in Love
In “Like Someone in Love,” I delve into the profound societal expectations placed upon women regarding marriage and motherhood, often portrayed as the ultimate path to fulfilment. The series unfolds as a young woman prepares for her wedding, embodying the role of a bride deeply in love. Yet, amidst the anticipation, she finds herself questioning whether this path is truly her own desire or a construct imposed by society.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic Sharon Tate, particularly her late 60s wedding attire and hairstyle, I sought to capture the essence of an era while infusing it with a contemporary perspective. A serendipitous encounter with images of Tate and Richard Beymer on a beach, prior to her union with Polanski, spurred reflections on destiny and the diverging roads we traverse.
The series delves into themes of destiny, choices, and the profound fear of change. It contemplates the existence of alternate realities and parallel universes, suggesting that each decision we make leads us down a distinct path, forever altering the course of our lives.
