I CAN’T GO OUT, I’M SICK

The visual story explores the concept of choosing solitude as a moment of self-care and self-expression. Using the excuse of “I can’t go out, I’m sick” (an iconic line from the 2004 film Mean Girls, which later became a viral sound bite on Tik Tok in 2021), this editorial celebrates the beauty of staying at home and enjoying our own company: the importance of time to ourselves, feeling cozy and sexy even if only for the gallery of our phone.
