“Regardless of the medium, UnKept Palace can be simply described as quirky, unique takes on the ‘ordinary’, typically recontextualizing certain motifs to take on new, often surreal meanings. Inspired by paradoxical themes such as capturing antique aesthetics through a distinctly modern lens, or finding the beauty in the macabre.”
BASED IN SOUTH LOUISIANA — Available for custom projects and in person pop ups (with curations always reflecting the ideal atmosphere according to the needs and desires of each event — from unique to simple/coastal chic).
