Ingrid Coles, Ophelia (Art (2018))

This fashion series draws influence from William Shakespeare’s Ophelia and its melancholy and uncanny representation throughout nineteenth century Art. I am absorbed by the relationship between the natural and sublime landscape and the mysterious female figures. By drawing upon established symbols and iconography, the work seeks to pay homage to this familiar, yet Gothic tale.
