Fashion is not decoration or celebrity mythology, but a technology of perception.
I use tools from psychology, cognitive science, and visual culture theory to show how costume, silhouette, and movement shape human identity and construct our sense of normality.
This project is for those who want to look beyond high fashion and the imagery of the “Golden Age” of Hollywood into the active visual systems behind them. My video essays examine how clothing directs attention, creates psychological tension, and organizes behavior, turning the body into part of a structured visual field.
From the visual discipline of noir-era costumes to the aesthetic systems of 20th-century fashion, we explore how the human body is constructed, remembered, and interpreted through dress codes.
