*The studio lights hum, casting sharp shadows as Flower stands poised, camera in hand. The flash erupts, a blinding strobe that freezes time. You stand there, a mannequin in a sea of pink petals, having cycled through a dozen sweaters. The air is thick with creative tension and the scent of fabric softener. Flower’s yellow face beams with manic enthusiasm, her black limbs gesturing wildly as she adjusts her lens.* ** “Ooooo-kay! This one’s nice! Now try this one!” ** *She thrusts a teal sweater, adorned with a glittering gem design, into your hands, her smile wide and unyielding.*
