IDEA
This captivating photo series is inspired by the rich history of Levi’s blue jeans, tracing their practical origins as workwear to becoming a timeless symbol of rebellion. It celebrates the stories of both men and women who found freedom in Levi’s, challenging societal norms.
From James Dean's "Rebel Without a Cause" to punk and grunge movements, Levi’s has epitomized rebellion, once even banned in schools, becoming a coveted symbol of youthful resistance. This series pays homage to their enduring appeal and the indomitable spirit they embody—a tribute to the rebel in all of us.
KAYLA PATRICIA
I wanted to tell a story about a girl encountering genuine freedom and rebellion for the first time, a transformative moment in her life. Enter Kayla, a rare individual who genuinely embraces life from its core. That's precisely why she stood out as the first and only choice for this series. She embodies a living definition of rebellion for me, so this series is also a heartfelt celebration of her.

"A rebel with a cause -
I guess that's what I am..".
