Artist's Statement:
About this Work:
Organza Manipulation Dress: The Organza manipulation dress is inspired by light, evoking a sense of something airy, enveloping, and warm, much like a mother’s hug. The dress features a straight silhouette that highlights each manipulation panel individually, creating voluminous ruffles through meticulous fabric manipulation.
Tweed Manipulation Vest and Tailored Pants: The tweed manipulation vest and tailored pants draw inspiration from soil, evoking feelings of strength and support reminiscent of the nurturing soil layer that encourages flowers to bloom. The tweed manipulation technique incorporates layering multiple fabrics to create a textured, piled effect using precise cutting techniques. The tailored pants boast a beautifully crafted silhouette with center pleats that add an element of elegance.
