An outfit never seems truly complete without a [statement accessory piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot), but the accessories featured in the photo series titled The Ritual by Claudia Goetzelmann, a globe-trotting photographer splitting her time between San Francisco and New York, may be a little too eccentric for everyday use. It features a slew of [dramatic headdresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive) that are more suitable for the ritual alluded to in its title.

Shot on location in a barren desert, The Ritual by Claudia Goetzelmann stars model DeeDee Brown. The blonde beauty showcases the masked creations of Lucien Shaprio, who creates them out of [recycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection) including dulled meat cleavers, butterfly specimens and more. The complementing modern wardrobe was put together by stylist Jessica Anton with wild tresses and natural makeup by Ericka Taniguchi.
