The main focus on this shoot was on the hair/braids and how hair becomes more than beauty its memory, identity, and expression. The braids itself mirrors intention as well. The cords act as both constraint and conduit — symbols of tension, electricity, and the systems we’re plugged into. The braided tie reclaims formality and transforms it into softness. It challenges the traditional suit and tie power dynamic, replacing rigidity with creativity, masculinity with fluidity.
