This photographic project is inspired by the Five Elements in traditional Chinese culture. The Five Elements theory explains the interaction and relationship between things. The Five Elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The project consists of a series of fashion photographs based on each element.

A fashion portrait of a woman against a blue background. She has shoulder length, wavy hair, is wearing a sheer green drapery, and looking up and off camera.
