Project
The Brown Gabardine
The photographic project “The Brown Gabardine” is visually structured on the basis of conceptual interpretation and symbolism. Clothing in human everyday life embraces the body to protect it. But the gabardine has an additional characteristic : it protects the nakedness from the wet element of nature.
However, brown is the colour of the earth. The earth element needs rain to fructify. The combination of gabardine with the colour brown contains a conceptual reflection as to the alienation of modern human beings from their contact with nature and therefore from themselves.
