Harri KS: Redefining Proportions & Shades of Black

Jack Davison: On Photography & Staying True To Oneself

In this episode of What We Make, we sit down with photographer Jack Davison whose dreamlike images have made him one of today’s most sought-after creatives in both art and fashion. From his breakout commission with The New York Times to collaborations with Vogue, Dazed, Hermès, Burberry, and The Row, Jack’s career has been defined by instinct, curiosity, and a refusal to follow a single path. His photographs—whether portraits, architecture, or everyday objects—reveal the surreal in the ordinary through chiaroscuro, abstraction, and a cinematic eye. Together, we trace his journey into photography, explore the role of honesty and play in creative work, and reflect on what it means to evolve as an artist while staying true to yourself. This is a conversation about process, perseverance, and the unexpected ways creativity unfolds.

Maya Golyshkina: On Breaking the Rules

Maya Golyshkina is a self-taught, Russian-born performance artist who didn’t wait for the perfect materials or the perfect moment to start creating. From a shared bedroom in Moscow, she began building handmade sets and surreal images using whatever she could find from cling film, cardboard, even eggs. Her playful, unpolished works soon caught the eye of fashion houses like Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga, launching a practice rooted in resilience, resourcefulness, and a refusal to wait for permission. We talk about growing up under pressure, the power of satire, and how humour can be a radical creative force.

Tsunaina: The Power of Not Holding Back

In this episode of What We Make, I sit down with Tsunaina, the British–Nepali model and musician whose haunting voice and singular visual style have captivated audiences around the world. First known for her striking presence in images by Tim Walker and Paolo Roversi, Tsunaina has since stepped into a new realm: one of music, performance, and richly layered storytelling. We met in a recording studio in London, where her quiet poise and eloquence made a lasting impression. In our conversation, Tsunaina reflects on the theatrical nature of her work, the evolution of her creative voice, and the power of building a world that feels entirely her own. Bold, confident, and uncompromising in her artistic vision, Tsunaina speaks to what it means to remain authentic while carving out space in the public eye.

Harri KS: Redefining Proportions & Shades of Black

In this episode, we’re joined by Harri KS, the London-based designer and artist behind Let’s Put Him in a Vase, the viral MA collection that reimagined menswear with sculptural, inflatable silhouettes. Born in Kerala, Harri’s practice is anything but surface-level. It’s rooted in global craftsmanship, material innovation, and a deep interrogation of the body as both subject and medium. We unpack the journey from South India to Central Saint Martins and dive into how Harri has shaped his identity through making, transforming challenges like colour blindness into creative catalysts. This conversation is a reminder that while vision might go viral, it’s the discipline, collaboration, and craft behind the scenes that truly make it soar.
