Self Absorbed explores how identity is formed through a material gaze, where value is determined by how one is seen rather than who one is. The collection reflects a constant awareness of being observed, especially as a woman, where the self becomes both subject and object. It questions whether we define ourselves, or are instead defined through perception and desirability.
