A5 Paper Doll

A playful, layered illustration inspired by classic paper dolls, reimagining the many versions of self that elite female athletes inhabit to succeed. From fierce competitor to teammate, role model, public figure and private self , this piece celebrates the adaptability, identity and complexity behind performance.

Featuring England rugby star Ellie Kildunne as the central figure, this design explores the idea that success in women’s sport often comes from balancing multiple identities at once, both on and off the pitch.
