Closet

In many schools around the world the school uniform masks students true inner identities . I decided to create this installation to represent the struggles and apprehension felt by students who feel they cannot outwardly express their true identity for fear of how they might be judged by their community. The clothing in the “closet” represents these many layers of emotions. The solid white uniform that is first displayed subltly morphs into the more sheer, transparent clothing giving the viewer a window into what’s happening below the surface of the wearer.
