An immersive gallery exploring all of the nuances of infidelity.
by Mads LeFever & Chlo Ordello
There’s a lot of shame associated with betrayal. Loving & Loathing captures the nuances of infidelity, while questioning the social ideas we attach to cheating, asking what happens when you begin to see yourself in the people your partner once turned to in an attempt to fill a hole that no one could patch.

Meet The Creative Team
Chlo Ordello
Creative Director 1
Chlo Ordello is a creative director and cosmetologist from Bellingham, WA.
In 2024, they creative directed a photo gallery “Divine”, a project inspired by the evolving symbolism of Lilith, from a demon of seduction to a representation of divine feminine rage and autonomy. “Loving & Loathing” (L&L) was conceived from my lived experience, a story of infidelity that existed in my peripheral.
They are inspired by things that feel inherently communal and yet also ethereally unobtainable. To find the balance between this dichotomy is where they find their true passion in creation.
