From Hella Pinay Issue 02: Interconnected. Print layout by Vi Viray.
Beauty editorial for Hella Pinay Magazine Issue 02 – Fall/Winter’21 ‘Interconnected’.
The shoot is inspired by the Empress archetype of the tarot as well as Lakapati, the trans Tagalog fertility/great mother goddess: creation, abundance, connection to earth. Basically queering up some traditionally hetero high femme earth goddess imagery with alien-ish and stark elements. Combining everything I love: nails, mysticism, mythology, flowers, makeup and fashion (with a little Filipiniana of course).
