SEIZING THE THRONE

 Julia Comita and I partnered up again to direct a feature in Hunger Magazine that brings to light the stories of models with disabilities, specifically those who use wheelchairs, and their experience and views within the fashion industry.
 We wanted this to feel like a moment of empowerment. Where these models feel fierce, sexy, and beautiful. We wanted to create a story where people of similar situations can visualize themselves in this story. We wanted people who are not used to seeing themselves in fashion and media to know that they can do anything.
 These models and many like them are seizing their power and breaking down walls and paving the way for people with disabilities.
 Seizing the Throne has won an award from the ADC Awards 2022.
