- Artist's Statement
- In my perspective, pragmatism holds a pivotal role in the realm of design. A commendable design should be firmly grounded in practical, real-world utility while simultaneously possessing the ability to break free from existing constraints. As a designer, my inclination leans toward working predominantly with tangible materials as my initial point of focus. I draw my creative inspiration largely from palpable, physical aspects of the world, highlighting the significance of sensory experiences and tactile interactions in informing my design endeavors.
- About This Collection:
- My thesis collection "Phantom Limb" draws inspiration from the concept of metamorphosis, where the environment changes and prompts a profound transformation. Just as organisms and bodies adapt to new surroundings, my designs adapt and mirror the resilience found in nature’s processes. This collection explores the intriguing connection between the natural world and our bodies. Blurring the boundaries between species allowed me to create clothing that mimics the regenerative abilities of our bodies, seamlessly fusing the realms of fashion and science to craft a truly transformative experience.
