- About This Collection:
- "Therefore, I Am." unfolds through questions of purpose, morality, and being, using introspection and literary symbolism to explore identity as both relational and reflective. Structured tailoring embodies external power; sheer organza and embroidered journal entries reveal vulnerability and truth. Oversized 3D-printed paper clips and binder clips root each garment in emotional honesty, mirroring the act of self-reflection. Identity becomes a fleeting mirage formed in love, memory, and creation transforming personal expression into poetic, wearable art that evokes connection, softness, and quiet strength.
