Inspired by Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon, this project explores the seductive relationship between beauty, identity, and performance. Drawing from the film's dreamlike color palette and surreal glamour, I reimagined beauty as something both captivating and isolating.

Through editorial styling, sculptural makeup, layered lighting, and atmospheric portraiture, the project transforms cinematic inspiration into a visual narrative where beauty becomes both spectacle and disguise.
