Hunter Schafer is a confident woman taking on the world, but it took a long time to get to that mindset. Throughout her life, the “Euphoria” star has dove into different projects in hopes of being seen. She explained to Allure, “When you think about it, [my work] has this common thread of creating the identity of a person.”
Schafer has many talents, creating comics, modeling, and acting, all of which share that common theme of establishing a character. She said, “Telling stories or trying to portray a message through a body, how that body looks in a garment, and how the garment affects the way the body moves; to modeling, which is bringing garments to life with your body; then to acting, which is bringing a character to life with your body and mind. It feels linked in a lot of ways.” Ultimately, creating an identity of a person is her way of trying to be seen. “That’s been the project of my life. Just trying to feel seen and learn how to see others correctly,” she explained.
Now more than ever, Schafer is being seen but isn’t letting it overwhelm her. She told Elle, “I am trying to make an effort to not get lost in the sauce of all this stuff, because you can kind of get swept up in it.” Schafer has held a great mindset navigating fame and feeling seen, but it has taken some work to get there.
