Salvaged skateboard & crown moulding, headphones, sunglasses. Dimensions variable, 2013

Brooklyn Industries went out to Rockway, Queens with a few models to shoot their summer collection in 2013. There, they decided pilings of the destroyed boardwalk among other ravaged landscapes to be the perfect backdrop for their waify model figurines to stand around and look stylish. I personally found this in very bad taste, and recreated the photoshoot myself, using a thin stiff plank that reminded me of a model, and skateboard I pulled from the trash.
