なれ (NARE) EDITORIAL
A hair editorial by Mark van Westerop inspired by purity, lively, challenging color combinations that reinforce each other. It’s all about textures and shapes. An introspection into the expression of nothingness, which invites you to observe, while it, in turn, ends up obser ving you. Nare is our own perception that ends up invading that place in which we are all as we are, where as individuals, we recognize ourselves in pure essence, where our thoughts take over our feelings in that small moment in which we are truly aware that no one can see us
Mark's collection of images is not just a testament to his creative genius and unwavering support for his craft, but also a remarkable showcase of his influential work in the hair industry. Each photograph effortlessly captures the essence of his artistic vision, serving as an inspiration that uplifts the entire field. What sets this collection apart is the deliberate focus on textures and shapes, which transcend the mere aesthetics of hairstyling.
Mark's thought-provoking work delves into an exploration of nothingness, urging viewers to embark on a journey of introspection. It compels us to not only observe, but also confront our own observations, creating a powerful narrative that challenges our perception of reality.
Through his work, Mark prompts us to recognise ourselves in our purest essence, a concept that resonates deeply in our fast-paced lives. It's all too easy to become consumed by the external world and lose touch with our inner selves. Mark's collection serves as a gentle reminder of those precious moments when our thoughts momentarily overshadow our feelings, allowing us to become truly aware of our own existence. In these fleeting instances, we come to the realisation that no one else can see us as we see ourselves; this revelation is undeniably powerful and almost spiritual in nature.
Mark's hair editorial is much more than a mere collection of images. It is a profound and thought-provoking artistic expression that invites introspection and contemplation. It serves as a reminder that beauty and creativity can transcend the surface, challenging our preconceptions and inviting us to explore the profound depths of our own essence. Through his work, Mark encourages us to embrace a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, leaving an indelible mark on the hair industry and beyond.
