Project Co-Lead / Senior Graphic Design

 MACHINA is a project I co-led with Teresa Burkey for TITLE Magazine Issue 007. This issue’s theme was Subvert. Pleasing and subverting the male gaze. MACHINA is provocative in the way it plays with objectification.


The Brief


MACHINA tests the limits of desire. Playing with the line between pleasing and subverting the male gaze. Thinking used car parking lot for some of the photos. Thinking spinal cord, futuristic, desire, objectification, and machinery. Found inspiration from the French movie Titane, Pussy Riot, and Kino Proby. Fusing cars/machinery/metal and women as objects.
