Brooke Shields grew up inside an industry that rarely pauses, stepping into professional life while still navigating school, friendships, and the everyday rhythm of adolescence. That overlap shaped an unusual sense of normality, where work and personal life ran side by side rather than in separate worlds.
With time, she built her own framework for moving through it—choosing structure over chaos, and grounding herself in the parts of life that weren’t defined by attention or expectation. Years later, she looks at that path with perspective, not distance, and continues forward with a focus on what feels steady, meaningful, and self-directed.
Paris Hilton has existed across multiple cultural eras, each one reshaping how fame, identity, and visibility are understood. From early reality television to the rise of digital celebrity, from nightlife icon to businesswoman and mother, she has moved through these shifts without ever losing her centre.
Each version of her reflects a different moment in time, yet they all connect back to the same core presence—unmistakable, consistent, and unchanged in essence. Across decades of reinvention in the public eye, she has remained the thread that ties them all together. She’s always just been Paris.
Kate Hawley has built a career defined by instinct, craft, and an unwavering attention to detail—now recognised with an Oscar, but long established in the work itself.
Raised in New Zealand in a creative, music-filled household, she started making costumes as a child, learning early how transformation could come from the simplest materials and ideas. That hands-on curiosity evolved into a practice spanning theatre, television, and film, shaped by discipline and a deep respect for storytelling. Her collaboration with Guillermo del Toro on “Frankenstein” brought her vision to a global stage, where she reimagined a familiar world through atmosphere, texture, and invention rather than convention. Through it all, Hawley remains grounded in the process, focused on building worlds and dimensions the world is free to lose themselves in.
“I was surrounded by music as a kid. My father was an opera singer, and records were playing all the time—I remember sitting in big armchairs, listening to them and imagining a world in my head. My mother would read to us every night, mostly mythologies, so I think there was no way to avoid being in a world of fairy tales and escape.” - Kate Hawley
In the preternatural intersection between familiarity and the fantastical, the sculptures of Margriet van Breevoort (Margriet Van Breevoort) quietly come to life. At first glance, they are discerningly lifelike, and yet there are beings that have found themselves detached from the ordinary and inhabiting a terrain somewhere between human and animal, realism and imagination, the seen and the speculative. Van Breevoort’s practice navigates these proportions with intentional care, coaxing out forms that are at once recognizably corporeal and quietly otherworldly.
Limbs are distorted, postures reconfigured, and features redefined to conceive entirely new entities, hybrid creatures that have adapted in parallel, speculative realities. They are beings of both empathy and ambiguity, while being familiar enough to evoke identification, and unusual enough to instigate curiosity. Margriet’s work asks a poignant, simple question: ‘What if the alien is not beyond our world, but within ourselves, our creations, and in the fine ecosystems we inhabit? In this conversation, she takes us on an out of this world journey through the emotional dimensions of her art, revealing the creatures that exist not just on the periphery of imagination, but at the center of our perception.
