Dream Theory is an exploration of duality, of the two selves that exist within a single identity. Moving between urban industrial backdrops and open pastoral landscapes, the editorial maps the interior world of its subjects as much as the exterior one. The city and the countryside, the structured and the surrendered, exist not in opposition but in conversation.

The styling reflects tension with sharp dark separates and glossy  textures that give way to billowing sheer whites and delicate floral organza. It is an honest portrait of the inner life of the young Black identity; soft and fierce, grounded and dreaming, familiar and unknowable.
