Two screenshots of Instagram conversations between Liberated State owner, Madeline, and myself. Captions on screenshots say "handle [Instagram handle] censored for privacy" and "our first collaboration - collection 2 photoshoot, Madeline was the photographer."

Two mood boards featuring images that fit a pink, white, and black goth/alternative aesthetic. Captions on this image: "We both enjoy creating mood boards for visual inspiration and guidance," "Dream collab = Dilara Findikoglu," and "huge FKA Twigs fan."

Two more mood boards, one with black, white, red, and blue goth/alternative related images, and the other with old photos of vintage Black and Jewish women. Captions on this image: "love these photos of these beautiful women" and "all images belong to their respective owners."

Two pink and white art pieces from artist Beth Hoeckel; both are in a collage-style and feature an assortment of items that evoke 50's and 60's America. Captions for this image: "I wasn't aware of this artist until Madeline added her art to our boards" and "Reminds me of one of my all-time favorite shows: Mad Men."

8 old photos of Black women from the Victorian era; some have been edited with white eyes. Captions for this image: "Graphic used for the Hoodoo Queen Ringer Tee," which refers to a black and white photo of a Victorian-era Black woman with a large ribbon in her hair and white eyes.

8 old sepia photos of vintage Jewish women. Caption for this image: "Graphic used for the Eternity Crop Sweatshirt," referring to an image of a Jewish woman with long hair and traditional garb, and "I admittedly did not know a lot about Jewish history before collaborating with Madeline, and I loved delving into the subject."

The captions for this image: "the 1st photoshoot (I unfortunately couldn't be a part of the 2nd, because I was feeling sick)" and "love beauty supply stores."
