Avant garde by nadia semanic, chi hair, australia

Mortale est. is the collection by the 2015 AHFA Avant Garde Hairdresser of the Year Nadia Semanic of Chi Hair, Skin, Body in Adelaide, South Australia. It explores the concept of mortality, from the artists pre-occupation with the Renaissance Period, a cultural movement that included the creation of religious paintings saturated with symbolism and often displaying beauty, harmony and serenity in the same frame as death. As such, the shoot was deigned to draw the viewer into a somewhat distorted world showing the fragility and vulnerability of life. Key symbols within the renaissance period have been used as specific reference points for each individual look. [hji-gallery-legacy]
