There’s no AI, just real people, cameras, lenses, lighters, and extinguishers.
Clothing, being an outward expression of who one is on the inside or who one wants to be perceived as on the outside, has a unique relationship to every person, artist, and human on this planet.
For Maia, when she’s home, she’s naked. She wears clothes because she has to. She dresses up because she loves to. Sometimes she’ll go out just to show off an outfit.
Similarly, Shaina often says, “even when I’m going to the grocery store or on a walk, casual has its own definition. It’s still a moment of expressing yourself. My body behind closed doors has an ease at home, usually half-naked, between what I wear running errands, what I will wear while I sew new pieces and try them on my body, and what I will wear later to an event. Out in the world, my clothes have a way of being used as a storytelling device.” For her, each moment she gets to step outside of her creative cave is a time for her to use clothes as a realm of playfulness, an element of expressiveness that is either accurate to her inner world or a means of trying to change her mood by dressing for the experience she is creating, and her body is the canvas of possibility.
