In Knots

Macey Chamberlin is a sophomore at Miami majoring in Communication Design and minoring in Fashion. Her print In Knots depicts a woman whose very self is keeping her tied up in her own thoughts. The Intaglio print process used to create the piece was Chamberlin’s first experience with it, but she finds that the experimental and surreal nature makes the piece even more communicative.

As the subject considers its own identity, it gets caught up in the chaos. Chamberlin says, “I wanted to show the feeling of overthinking one’s own identity, questioning who you really are, what you really stand for, and how others perceive you.”
