Ooak..? Or ‘no identity’ crisis..
Whilst doing some research online I had a look on pixabay a great resource for downloading images & for use copy right free! Of course I did a search under ‘Mannequins‘ (I just can’t help myself at times…) & what did I find?? Steph! Well not her exactly but her double! x 3! Yes here were 3 images depicting ‘Steph’ as though either on her travels or leading a secret life…but no..here were 3 images of her ‘Sisters‘ in effect just ‘somewhere’ ‘some place’ & in ‘some-time’…there are no details with the images so in a way fitting the anonymity & obscurity of mannequin ‘life’…
With her beautiful serene face & large green eyes, short ‘brushed back’ plastic hairstyle dating her is not easy but I would take a guess at either the late 1980’s or early 1990’s. I could be wrong but I think I’m close…I wonder what her real ‘name’ or ‘model’ is? & Who is she based on? Whoever it is looks like she’s pretty popular..! The difference with ‘our Steph’ is far from being ‘just a clone’ her imperfections in her chipped nose & marred paintwork give her some individuality at least…So here she is in 3 different displays – in the first image ‘Sister 1″ is looking ‘romantic & reflective’ in a geometric print top but somehow she’s looking a bit sad & ‘mournful’…starring out the window longingly (for escape??)
The next image ‘Sister 2’ has a more ‘edgy & dramatic‘ feel, the lighting is more ‘sinister‘ or maybe just hard, unforgiving & ‘modern’ – like if you don’t ‘cut it‘ in this light – forget it! Here she wears a bright intense sky blue pastel sports jacket & to be honest looks ‘kind of knowing’ & certainly ready to ‘kick ass’! The final image ‘Sister 3’ is much more ‘incognito’ & relaxed (maybe a ‘day off’?) wearing a hooded jacket (note with ‘interesting’ bobble detail) and with a bright animal print scarf so maybe not that incognito... but well at least she’s trying, strangely she look’s like she’s outside at a bus stop? Obviously something odd is ‘going on’? Or is she really waiting for that bus??
Anyway she looks in no hurry, just ‘watching’ life go by… So now we know there are ‘other Steph’s’ ‘out there’…doing their job just like her..she is ‘not alone’ yet is..(just like us in a way..). The possibility of a double ‘self’ is fascinating yet quite frankly a bit ‘disturbing’ – another self living simultaneously yet not knowing where…or how? Who with? And what do they do?? Do you really want to know? (In films this nearly always turns out ‘bad’…) Steph also has the same ‘dilemma’ except 3 have been ‘identified’ the location a mystery…the ‘true‘ identity still ‘veiled‘ but at least she’s not ‘alone’ even though she may be a ‘clone’…unlike us??
