Palmen tailors each camouflage suit to suit the environment in which she wants to photograph it, ensuring that the illusion of blending into the background is achieved with the greatest precision. Through her work, she draws attention to the broader implications of camouflage, highlighting the importance of remaining undetected in various contexts, including preserving our privacy in terms of political identities, personal space, and character traits.
