Alicja Ciżkowicz – The Runaway Bride.
Amongst the hustle of wedding preparations, she starts a process of self-reflection and embarks on a journey to discover her true self. Each consequent version of her true self represented as changes in the six looks created takes her deeper and deeper into transformation as the bright day of waking consciousness turns into the dark depth of the unconscious. She journeys from wedding glamour to increasingly independent, avant-garde, rebellious, strong, and autonomous identities, ending with an aggressive punk rock identity. Eventually, she finds her true self, a strong, authentic, and autonomous young woman. She finally invites you into her world in front of the cathedral in which she was to be married.
