The Project
This is an ongoing effort to catalog every outfit Serena Williams has worn on-court: each round, discipline, and tournament from 1995 to her final match in 2022 the end of time (SHE'S BAAAACK). The name takes its cue from the Pokédex — a complete compendium with one slot per entry and my obsessive goal of catching 'em all.
The Creator
Divya Prabhakar has loved Serena since Prabhakar was four years old. She memorized Williams's life story for a 4th grade "Living Museum" project, saw Williams play in-person for the first time at age 8, and when Prabhakar gave birth in 2022, she watched what were then considered to be Serena's final career matches in between contractions.
Prabhakar currently leads Digital Products Design at Form Energy, building software for grid-scale energy storage. Outside of work, she creates projects that surface patterns in large visual datasets across her interests of fashion, culture, and art. View her work at divyaprabhakar.com
