Garment focus
The dress functions as both costume and character.
Dilara Findikoglu’s Spiritual Healing Dress anchors the study: corsetry suggests structure and restraint, while sheer layers introduce breath, exposure and release. Its high neckline and sculptural construction reference ritual and devotion.
Model & performance
Selin Arman’s performance is deliberately restrained. Emotion is carried through posture, hand gestures, micro-movements and pauses—the body behaving as if holding a private ritual in a public space.
Cinematic language
Super 16mm art-house cinema informs the visual system: visible grain and gate weave, under-keyed exposure, deep blacks, a cool restrained palette, partial framing and slow, reverent camera movement.
Sound & music
Original sound generated with SUNO AI acts as a structural layer equal to image and performance—slow, ritualistic and sparse, built from low strings, bowed cello, muted brass, distant choir pads and analogue drones.
The study treats AI as a complete creative ecosystem: model identity, behavioural logic, garment-led performance, cinematography, pacing, atmosphere and sound are directed as one coherent world of severe beauty, vulnerability, ritual and power.
