The project explores an androgynous, otherworldly future where identity is fluid, beauty is unconventional, and self-expression transcends humanity. In this world, beauty is redefined. Faces and bodies merge with alien textures, organic matter, and surreal forms, imagining a posthuman evolution where form, material, and movement reconstruct the language of selfhood. The subjects exist between species, between genders, between realities. Their presence is theatrical, soft, sacred, and strange.
In addition to the darker and ritualistic visual languages, we introduce elements drawn from plant life and natural ecosystems. Snails, fungi, and leaves appear not as accessories, but as non-human collaborators. Their quiet presence embodies a posthuman sensibility—one that embraces the alien, the monstrous, the unique. This project centers the aesthetics of difference, fragility, and transformation. By engaging with natural materials and hybrid gestures, it reflects a speculative vision where the human is no longer the center—but simply one thread in a tangled, evolving web of life.

“The Surprising Cost of Our Quest to Defy Aging”

Written by Darshita Goyal, the piece investigates the booming anti-aging and longevity industry from collagen supplements to snail mucin skincare and reveals its hidden environmental cost. While consumers chase youthful appearance, the article urges us to reconsider the ecological and ethical consequences behind this pursuit.The visual narrative of “When the Body Forgets It Is Human” complements this theme by proposing a future where beauty is reimagined through symbiosis, transformation, and nonhuman collaboration.
