MIND GAMES

By Ming Tan, photographer

“The story behind TheFinalBosses figurine is a fascinating one: The founders wanted to highlight how our mental health is severely impacted by online bullying, not just online but in real life as well (the # signs on the eyes represent how tightly intertwined our lives are with digital platforms). Juxtaposing that are the sneakers, which stand as a reminder to take things in our stride, and to live mindfully and purposefully. I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of going analogue and working with old-school film, so I shot this using a Contax T3 camera.”
