For me, Taking the Pis is really about mixing fashion, digital collage, and cultural exchange in a way that feels playful, a little messy, and not overly polished. Manneken Pis already has this whole history of being dressed up, restyled, and reimagined. I love the idea of taking that tradition and flipping it a bit. Instead of just dressing him for Belgium, I dress him as the people who actually come to see him, then send him back to their worlds. Using Photoshop in a rougher, collage-style way it’s supposed to feel fun, and a little sarcastic. It’s really just Belgium’s icon leaving Brussels for once and seeing what everyone else has been so excited about.
