The Oculus in Orange

The Oculus in Orange is a four-image fashion story photographed by Dikshant for MALVIE Magazine at the Oculus in Lower Manhattan, with model Astha Sethi.

A four-image fashion story shot at the Oculus in Lower Manhattan’s WTC district. The series pairs a single, saturated orange suit with the white steel ribs of Calatrava’s architecture, using scale, symmetry, and repetition to make the building a second subject rather than a backdrop. Styled in Ann Taylor with Celine and Aldo accessories, the work explores the tension between rigid structure and human movement.

About The Oculus in Orange

The Oculus in Orange is one colour against one building. Astha Sethi wears a sharply cut orange suit with wide trousers, posing between the white steel ribs of the Oculus, against a metal bollard and on the crossing in front of glass towers.

Dikshant plays scale, symmetry and repetition against the movement of the body, so the architecture becomes a second subject in every frame.
