In recent years, fur has become taboo, as thanks to internet, people are increasingly aware of the plight of the animals and the questionable ethics.The purpose of this series is to both symbolize and materialize what fur is, and as such these three pictures, the viewer is attending a funeral. The fur coat is lying on the ground and the reality of what it used to be is rendered concrete. When it is not correct to use fur anymore what should we do with it? Maybe the answer is to realize what the items of clothing are and to bury them, so as not to turn a blind eye anymore on what or who they truly are.
The other aspect of the series concerns the relationship between humans and the fashion industry. All three models who posed for the photographs are people, who were selected for their self-love and self-esteem, are of various genders, nationalities and sexual orientations, abide in no way whatsoever to the fashion industry, whether in weight or style requirements, and have undergone no surgery. They are simply themselves and intend to educate the next generations in such a way.
Food disorders are one of the leading cause of mental health issues in the Western world leading to grave physical diseases that can ultimately be fatal, and a big cause is the desire to fit unrealistic standards. In each photograph, the series depicts two victims of the fashion industry, one of whom is laid to rest and the other who reflects and shows compassion by paying their respects.
The photographs are editions of six.
