"Workwear" is about the collapse of our public and private lives during the Covid-19 pandemic. Inspired by Jebreel's personal experiences, I wanted to explore how gender performance influences work and pleasure - and what happens when we can no longer neatly separate these different aspects of our day-to-day lives.
