Also, I worked with thick and stiff leather that shows the strength and protective layer of the skin, along with light and flowing chiffon that reflects the sensitivity, softness and transparency that can characterize the skin in different conditions.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\">The project is basically a personal study of the stories our skin holds about origin, identity, memories and relationships By moving these stories into clothing, I sought to create a work that speaks to perception and emotion, and opens up a new perspective on how we experience and interpret others' own skin and skin.<\/h5>\n<h6 class=\"elementToProof\" style=\"text-align: center\">Photographer: Bj\u00f6rn \u00d3li Har\u00f0arson<br \/>\nModels: Cynthia Anne Namugambe and
