Ana Carolina Russo

Recently graduated in Fashion Design, I seek as an artist to spark debates on important subjects such as sustentability, gender expression and identity. My work is highly motivated by a place of invisibility of expression and personal identity: I grew up on a traditional catholic household, and in a society based on fixed gender roles, where being different was seen as wrong and deviated from the norm. With every project I create, I seek to build a safe platform and space for those who don't fit in societal rules and norms; those who grew up without references and without being seen in big places, occupying spaces.
