For this concept photo I chose a simple outfit, but each element was selected carefully so it connects with the theme of COMA and the emotions in the song Numb Little Bug.
The base of the outfit is a light blue oversized t-shirt. I chose this colour because it gives a soft and almost calm feeling, which contrasts with the emotional struggle shown in the concept. The loose fit also helps the character look small and slightly lost, which visually represents vulnerability and emotional exhaustion.
On top of the t-shirt I layered a black camisole. This darker layer symbolises the weight of overthinking and negative thoughts. Visually it looks like something sitting on top of the character, which reflects how mental struggles can feel heavy and difficult to escape from.
The knee-high patterned socks add a chaotic visual element. The strong colours and geometric shapes reflect the feeling of a busy and restless mind, where thoughts keep repeating and overlapping. This helps represent the confusion and constant mental noise connected with anxiety and overthinking.
I also used dark makeup for this concept photo. The darker eye makeup and lipstick were used to emphasise the emotional heaviness of the character. It creates a slightly tired and melancholic appearance, which helps communicate the idea of someone who feels mentally drained. The dark tones also contrast with the softer clothing colours, visually reinforcing the difference between how someone may appear on the outside and what they are experiencing internally.
Overall, the outfit and makeup work together to show the contrast between calmness and inner struggle, which reflects the central idea of the concept.
