Eve from ‘Oumuamua was inspired by one of Shakespeare’s most haunting female figures: Lady Macbeth. What captivated me most was her famously sharp and penetrating gaze—a look that cuts through pretense and reveals ruthless ambition cloaked in poise. Lady Macbeth is often seen as a symbol of unchecked desire and moral unraveling, her sharpness both a weapon and a burden.
In Eve, I wanted to embody that same intensity—an alien grace fused with a chilling focus. Her expression suggests control, but also the fragile edge where control begins to slip. Much like Lady Macbeth, she exists in a liminal space between power and collapse.
The aesthetic draws from the mystery of ‘Oumuamua, the interstellar object that briefly visited our solar system. Her look is otherworldly, and yet deeply human in its complexity.
