A Mad Girl's Love Song

PROJECT STATEMENT:

This is a series inspired from the connection of artists and mental illnesses. The Sylvia Plath Effect states, that female poets are more susceptible to mental illnesses than any other creatives.

This is the story of an artist struggling with bipolar disorder and depression, which complicates her love life. The project was produced in the style of film stills; there was a script of actions and emotions for the models to embody.

Team Credits:

Models: Priscilla Ullmann Richter and Lucas Tapioca

Hair and Make-up Artist: Luiz de Luca

Styling: Priscilla Ullmann Richter and Natalie Barbosa

Production Assistance: Nozes Produções

Location: An apartment in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I have broken this project into two parts, because of their contrasting moods. The second part of the series was published as an exclusive in an online fashion and style magazine from the UK, Paperonfire.
