The Handmaiden – AMP Silkscreen

It is a 10-color silkscreen AMP with Ink Paper Auteur Cinema Group. The film is directed by a genius director, Chan-wook Park. In 1930s Korea during the Japanese occupation, a young lady is hired as a new handmaiden to a Japanese heiress who lives a secluded life in a mansion with her uncle. The handmaiden is secretly involved in a plot with a Japanese Count to defraud the heiress’s fortune… But soon after, she finds the uncle’s dungeon room for his fetish and also finds herself in love with the heiress.

The story is very sensual and erotic, and the formatting of the storytelling is incredible; I enjoy the movie (although I was disgusted with those men the predetors.)

I wanted to go for a very subtle but heavily sensual image, which gives a soft and warmer tone to these two ladies, but also feels like they’re trapped. Their hair is also a sensual and significant symbol of the story, so I was happy to work on this piece.
