001. BRAND NEW ME
I have undergone a RADICAL transformation! The Nancy you knew is GONE! This is the BRAND NEW ME.
This collection parodies the conflation of self-actualisation and self-commodification in the performance of a creative identity. Through the enduring romance of self-expressive creativity and neoliberal reverence for creativity as a tool for the enterprising self, personal identity has become a commodity to be mined, packaged, and sold by Creatives.
