SEA OF ANGELS

Creative Direction & Art Direction

For Women’s History Month, my client sought a visual tribute capturing the strength, resilience, and divinity of women. The challenge was to blend surrealism with a grounded narrative, honoring their often-overlooked contributions.

PROBLEM

Set in an empty pool, ‘Sea of Angels’ reimagines women as celestial figures, symbolizing unseen labor and quiet strength. Flowing white garments and angel wings evoke purity and wisdom, while the stark setting transforms a desolate space into one of ethereal beauty.

CREATIVE APPROACH

White robes and wings represent leadership, guidance, and support.

WARDROBE

The empty pool serves as a metaphor for sacrifice and transformation.

SET DESIGN

Natural light enhances softness, creating a divine aura.

LIGHTING

Dynamic poses and flowing fabric mimic ascension and unity.
