Black and White (Plus one) Photography

As a social commentary on today's tendencies to put aesthetic and fashion ahead of complex thought, I intend to utilize the one of our headless mannequins, (the black and white) and a single piece of clothing, likely a hat, which will act as the plus one. The mannequin is a metaphor for the societal cookie cutter mold many seek to fit into, which is in itself, lacking substance and therefore 'black and white'. The single piece of clothing is acting as the plus one for the headless model in place of another certain facial feature. The hat is a hopeful replacement for  the lack of creative and free thought and the emotional gap many hope to fill with materialistic ideals, though this doesn't change the fact that the mannequin is indeed, still lacking a head.
