Inspired by the horror genre and Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills, I set out to spotlight the female lead within classic and contemporary horror. By casting the same actress as these iconic characters, I wanted to create a visual thread that connects the films across eras. Just as the genre often presents recurring traits and archetypes in its leading women, this project explores those parallels—showing how these characters echo one another through decades of storytelling.
