What was it like creating the images?
There are endless [works], [works] that didn’t even make the cut. When you create a space that entails unlimited possibilities, the mind can just go wild. And that’s sort of what I wanted to capture in this. My best friend—my soul sister—Brianna worked on all the looks. I had so many incredible hair and makeup artists work on the book. And they’re a very big part of my storytelling. It’s this beautiful, chaotic mix of incredible individuals.
I’m really getting into the crux of the work. Usually when we’re on set there are so many limitations, and I didn’t want any of that. I wanted everyone to wear multiple hats and be very collaborative. I just wanted to honor them as well, by honoring their efforts and what they’re able to do.

Is there an image that you are particularly proud of?
I think some of my favorite images are some of the shots that we [made] at the end—me as the Statue of Liberty. We reinterpreted it so wild, and things were on fire, and I was in the middle of the street in this big pile of garbage. You can’t see something until it’s printed, and when I saw that image, it just made me feel like this is my love letter to the city that I love so much. We all have such powerful stories, and that one image just feels like it encapsulates a lot of who I am in a visual form.
