The Chameleon
A change of light, a turn of the body, a new silhouette: in The Chameleon, Cheng Peng moves between different expressions of the self. White tailoring gives way to vivid red and enveloping black, while colour images alternate with monochrome portraits. Photographed by Oliver Francis and styled by Halyna Humeniuk, the story finds its rhythm in these shifts — between movement and stillness, a sculptural gesture and an intimate gaze.
