On and Off: Work-Life Imbalance

At work, two colleagues fit the roles expected of them. Away from the office, their wardrobes tell very different stories: one favors elaborate, frilled fashion, while the other embraces a striking punk look. Their private interests allow them to express sides of themselves that would be difficult to guess during an ordinary working day. When those separate worlds overlap, first impressions become less reliable and new connections become possible. This slice-of-life romance explores the distance between professional appearances and personal identity, using clothing, chance encounters and gradual familiarity to reveal the people beneath their everyday disguises.
