Repost from @reinhardtkenneth • though surreal, my work had always been a reflection of three things - my childhood, my future, and the current reality we live in. I grew up idolizing mermaids. gorgeous, magical, imperfect creatures, frolicking through the bottom of the sea looking for treasures, love, and dreams. they were glorious yet wild, goddesses of the ocean. when I conceptualized ♊️, I knew I wanted to do it true justice. within the last few weeks, there has been a public debate on whether or not a mermaid could be melanated. sure, she doesn’t exactly depict the Ariel we all grew up to love, but IMO, everyone could be a mermaid, just as much as they can be presidents, doctors, pilots, rockstars, and artists. there is room for everyone - diversity should bring us together, representation matters. so I went on to create three very different mermaids for PISCES, all swimming in unity and sisterhood @greeneyedcreature_ my dearest best friend, a true pisces at heart - representing the “mermaid” we all grew up to love @_soulbeautiful - beautiful inside and out representing the “mermaid” the next generation(&all of us) will grow up to love & @yukibomb -my favorite creative partner - the mermaid who came from the waters I was raised in. because representation matters. no matter how magical my worlds are - I will always make it a point that it stands for a far bigger meaning. this one? this one is a reminder that we all equally deserve to be “part of your world” 🧜🏻‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️ @ART.CODED presents AZTRO: The Language of Signs @ReinhardtKenneth ‘s Debut NFT Drop Photography, Creative Director, Producer: @reinhardtkenneth Co-Producer: @ginakpark AI Video: @kevinabantoarkitekte Fashion Stylist: @michellewustyle Set Producer: @arimandias PISCES ♓️ Muse: @yukibomb , @greeneyedcreature_ , @_soulbeautiful Fashion: @dianamputri @thearchshow HMUA: (YUKI) @serranostudiosla , (HANNAH) @startsai_makeup , (SELINA) @katelynpatty.mua #ThePhotographicSense
