‘CHANGING BODIES’ (2020)
Growing up wearing a lot of inherited and thus unusal garments, Salome early realised the power of dress and its correlation with body and self. This stirred a longing to change the distorted ways in which society views the body and how it ’ought to be portrayed’.
with work such as ‘CHANGING BODIES’, Salome invites the observer, to step into the timeline of a womans life trapped in the system of viewing oneself as a ‘Nude’, rather than ‘Naked’. The final look of ‘CHANGING BODIES’ and the follow- up collection ‘APPROACHING ETERNITY’, steps out of the constructed boxes of the world and into the alternative perspective of viewing each human being as a unique and marvellous design, ‘fearfully and wonderfully created.’
