‘Utopian Girl’ is an ethereal expression of futuristic beauty, where softness meets strength in a surreal convergence of technology and organic form. A fusion of haute design and speculative tech, this piece reimagines future-facing adornment as personal propulsion.
This work taps into Clara Bacou’s signature world of pastel surrealism: candy-coated tones, dreamlike reflections, and intricate symmetry that feels both alien and intimately human. It evokes playfulness and empowerment, a being who is not defined by earthly limitations but instead exists in a radiant, emotionally charged hyper-reality.
Delicate motifs like stars, butterflies, and blush-pink droplets drift across the surface, enhancing the mask’s childlike wonder while asserting a powerful sense of presence. The result is a visual and emotional artifact of future-facing femininity - soft, strong, and untamed.
Sculpted in ZBrush and rendered in Maya and Redshift.
A visceral fusion of ornament and threat, ‘Neon Demon’ explores fashion as frightening armor. Sculpted in iridescent metallics and electric hues, this mask channels power through elegance, revealing a futuristic deity draped in synthetic intensity.
Part mask, part prosthetic crown, the piece fuses mythic motifs with cybernetic elegance - polished enamel, snarling forms, and bone-like textures evoke a couture relic of a digital war priestess.
This work blurs the line between ornament and aggression, soft flesh and machine-altered identity.
Its high-gloss surfaces and volatile hues draw inspiration from nature’s most cunning strategy: the brightly colored skin of venomous frogs and insects, a visual warning to would-be predators. In this spirit, the mask becomes a signal - don’t come closer. Seduction, intimidation, and self-preservation melt into one.
Sculpted in ZBrush and rendered in Maya and Arnold.

‘Sky Pilot’ imagines an emissary from a future where flight is no longer engineered but embodied, where aeronautics and adornment converge. The piece blends the fluidity of organic design with the command of high-tech craft, suggesting a post-human aviator whose interface with air is innate rather than piloted.
Iridescent plumes spiral outward like vapor trails, forming a luminous exoskeleton that feels aerodynamically alive. The crystalline eye-lenses evoke navigational instruments; optics attuned not just to altitude, but to atmospheric feeling. Beneath the mask, there is calm: a pilot in meditative communion with motion and sky.
An ode to the outsider, ‘Brace Face’ reimagines the high school misfit through a hyperpop-future lens. The class weirdo in the back of the class with DIY hacked goggles, listening to whatever helps him feel less overstimulated through cracked headphones; equal parts genius and glitch.
The face apparatus reads like a science fair project gone rogue: ornamental, overbuilt, unapologetically extra. There’s a sense of defensive fashion here, a wearable shield against conformity, but also a weird, earnest optimism. A celebration of being ‘too much’ in a world that rewards the bland.
A maximalist embodiment of chaos and control, Monster is a fashion artefact that thrives at the intersection of myth and biomorphic couture. Its brutalist tusks and sinuous flourishes erupt from the face like possessed calligraphy; feral, stylized, and commanding. The palette, bone white and lacquered blood-red, recalls both ceremonial masks and the hyper-refinement of sci-fi luxury.
This is not a mask worn to hide, it’s one worn to dominate. Every curve and extrusion speaks of someone who doesn’t just flirt with monstrosity, but fashions themselves in its image. A walking contradiction: predator as muse, horror as adornment.
