Hanne Gaby Odiele by Haris Farsarakis
Fashion photographer Haris Farsarakis has taken model Hanne Gaby Odiele on a wild ride into the middle of a desert! A fashion hostage of sorts.

Artist Naomi Hawksley goes on: “I do not braid my own hair often, but in drawing, control over the appearance of one’s body takes this form.

“Strange Pain” Series by Artist Felicia Chiao
“Strange Pain is about the small, undefinable pains you sometimes feel when nothing is specifically wrong. It can come as that ache you feel from a sad song or that fleeting wave of despair that comes over you while waiting for water to boil. It can be the tightness in your chest before a social event or that vague sense of guilt you sometimes get, even though you’ve done nothing wrong. Strange pains are hard to put into words but this body of work does its best to explore them.” – Felecia Chiao See more images from “Strange Pain” below or on display at Harman Projects December 17 – January 7.
