what am I looking at?

A visual exploration of the "manic pixie dream girl" trope—deconstructed, reframed, and reimagined. This project challenges the archetype by giving the so-called muse her own narrative, voice, and complexity. Through styling, photography, and storytelling, the project shifts the lens from male fantasy to female autonomy, celebrating the chaotic, whimsical, and unapologetic self not as a side character, but as the main event.
