MARIAM


Creative Direction & Art Direction

My client aimed to explore identity and transformation through surreal, abstract visuals. The challenge was to break conventional storytelling using form, texture, and scale.

PROBLEM


MARIAM blurs the line between body and space. The subject, enveloped in an oversized form, appears against a deep blue backdrop, symbolizing fluid identity and evolution.

CREATIVE APPROACH



Soft, controlled lighting enhances depth and surrealism.

WARDROBE


A textured blue void creates an immersive atmosphere.

SET DESIGN


A textured blue void creates an immersive atmosphere.

LIGHTING


Variations in form reflect transformation and self-exploration.
