The Decadence series draws inspiration from the world of Marie Antoinette, channeling the extravagance and excess of her era into contemporary, high-voltage scenes. The work plays with the idea of beauty pushed to its limit, where luxury becomes both a spectacle and a pressure point. Each image stages a moment of heightened glamour that hints at the collapse beneath the surface, echoing the spirit of a time defined by indulgence, rebellion, and the cost of wanting more.
