LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR
Inspired by the homonym that is the word ‘star’, this cross-media project compares the life cycle of a celestial star to the career cycle of a celebrity.

Part one is told through a 4-piece collage series depicting Marilyn Monroe through different stages of her career, and the different stages of a star’s life. Part two is told through a booklet that is evocative of tabloid culture.
