A visual manifesto blending travel photography and graphic layering. From a 16-year-old androgynous teen to wild animals, this poetic campaign explores identity, empowerment, and freedom across urban and natural worlds. Stay wild.
This series functions as a visual manifesto, a poetic campaign dedicated to the concept of individual freedom and self-actualization. Through a hybrid process combining travel photography, digital collage, and graphic layouts, each piece superimposes image and text to deliver a contemporary reflection on identity.
The narrative open call begins with the portrait of an androgynous 16-year-old youth captured in a ruelle in Norway. This initial figure embodies the fragile beauty and boundary-pushing nature of transitioning into adulthood. From this personal starting point, the series expands globally, tracking silhouettes and fleeting gazes in Japan or New York. Whether observing two women walking in a historic alley or capturing a confident stance on a public staircase, these scenes frame the diverse ways people occupy and reclaim space.
The final sequence introduces a deliberate shift, moving from human environments to the natural world. An unexpected close-up of a giraffe and a solitary deer on a beach conclude the work. By bridging urban architecture with wild animal life, the project highlights that authenticity remains an untamed force. Each graphic composition serves as an open invitation to break established codes, trust one's intuition, and ultimately, stay wild.
