Saran Wrap

What started as a quirky offshoot of the Cloning the Beautiful series evolved into something far more surreal, stylized, and strangely elegant—Saran Wrap is a visual experiment in preservation, perfection, and the curious intersection of beauty and containment.

The concept began with a tongue-in-cheek question: If you could clone the most beautiful models in the world, how would you store them? The answer, of course, was obvious—Saran wrap. A material we associate with freshness, longevity, and domestic utility suddenly becomes the symbol of something far more provocative: control, objectification, intimacy, and display.

In this ongoing project, each model—gorgeous, striking, and seemingly perfect—is posed and wrapped in layers of clear plastic. The result is both stunning and unsettling. The human form, so familiar, becomes frozen in time—preserved like art, or food, or evidence. The transparency of the wrap allows the body’s natural curves, expressions, and tensions to show through, but always with a layer of distortion and sheen. It’s vulnerability and entrapment wrapped into one.

The photographic style leans into minimalism. Most sessions are shot on stark, clean backdrops—either white for clinical contrast, or black to heighten the feeling of isolation. The lighting is sharp and intentional, casting highlights on the reflective plastic while softening the skin beneath. What emerges are figures that seem at once alive and suspended, sensual yet sterile, intimate but inaccessible.

Each pose is deliberate. Some models appear at ease, reclining or curled in fetal positions, like sleeping clones waiting to be awakened. Others are standing upright, caught mid-expression, as if freshly sealed for shipment. There’s a fine line between playfulness and discomfort, between commentary and spectacle—and that ambiguity is where Saran Wrap thrives.

But beneath the glossy surface lies a deeper artistic narrative. This project isn’t just about the absurdity of preservation—it’s about how we consume beauty. How media, fashion, and culture often strive to freeze women in states of perpetual youth, stillness, or idealized form. In a way, Saran Wrap becomes a satirical take on perfectionism. The clones are “fresh” and “sealed,” but also frozen—unable to move, age, or evolve.

There’s also a subtle nod to the aesthetics of sci-fi, horror, and pop art. The plastic skin evokes cryogenic chambers, mannequin displays, shrink-wrapped identities. It challenges the viewer to ask: What does it mean to preserve beauty at the cost of agency?

Of course, there’s also a layer of irreverence. This is Council of Mischief, after all. The visual pun of using household Saran wrap to store cloned models is absurd, playful, and weirdly logical in this fictional universe. That cheeky sensibility adds levity to what could otherwise be a heavy-handed metaphor.

Ultimately, Saran Wrap is a mix of fashion editorial, sci-fi parody, and conceptual art. It’s a project that invites the viewer to both admire and question, to laugh and then think a little longer.
