all that blooms must wither first

For the graduate exhibition About Time.

A photographic exploration of our view on subcultures in society through the lens of fashion.

“At the dawn of the new decade, an age of astonishing technological advancement and social awareness, more and more of us are choosing to glance nostalgically back to the subcultural tropes of yesteryear.”

I went on a journey through subcultural references and in the process, I noticed how I romanticized these cultural traits. Subcultures that once existed on the edge of society have now bloomed in our eyes. The most amazing thing is how something previously critiqued by society has transformed into a source of inspiration for many today. Could our emulation of past subcultures, be a new subculture in itself?
