'More or Less' explores the desire to embody the ideal woman, only to unravel into absurdity and imposed identities. It reveals the tension between modesty and eroticism, and the ‘play’ of negotiations between the ideal and the real. The collection reflects on stereotypes, beauty standards, and the psychological weight of dressing in a world where beauty dictates value; the act of getting dressed becomes a ritual of contradiction, a daily performance shaped by the longing to be seen.
