Laura
Laura loved posing in this window display for two reasons. Reflections and Edward Hopper.
Friends would say that she was pensive, a daydreamer, a reflective person so here Laura was in her element. Watching people passing by she began to create stories about many of them - what jobs they left everyday, their destinations each evening, who they would meet. That explains the first reason. Now onto reason number two.
Edward Hopper is Laura’s favorite artist of all periods she studied throughout her life. When she interviewed for this display the set designer mentioned that they were going to re-create a scene in the style of Guess Who?
There is a belief she has that when you put your energy and wishes out in the universe that magic sometimes happens. Laura posing in an Edward Hopper homage. What do you think?
Mannequin Reflections - Behind the Glass
Imagine standing before a stunning window display, a world of fantasy and glamour frozen in time. The mannequins, seemingly alive, pose amidst intricate sets, a testament to the artistry of the designer.
This was the inspiration for my blog series, Mannequin Reflections. Armed with nothing more than my iPhone, I began capturing these captivating scenes, drawn to the unique interplay of light and reflection.
As I experimented with different angles and perspectives, I realized that the glass itself was an integral part of the story. It acted as a mirror, reflecting the world outside and creating a mesmerizing blend of reality and illusion.
It was in these reflections that I found my muse. I began to envision the lives of these mannequins, the stories they could tell if only they could speak.
