I find it liberating to delve into the wondrous-treasuring the small moments in a universe of the grand–finding fascination in clutter, old, and ugliness in my surroundings. I try to approach life and art with a sort of reckless behavior that denies any sense of captivity.

heavily influenced by post-modern era components, post-modern furniture, and buillard's theory of infinite realities. ultimately, warped perspective is what drove this collection. what insanely inspired me was the attitude of the postmodern era. they (post-modern artists) rejected everything that modernity was and embraced things like pastiche, hyperreality, irony, paranoia, and lastly, which was also heavy influence, the distortion of time and reality.

this is an experiment of distorting the norms and creating a new interpretation. this is a separation of what I had previously known and what previous reality I had been accustomed to. distorting scaffolding became prevalent in my research and allowed to me manipulate as well as warp it to be a part of the garment.

along with the garment, i designed furniture pieces that resemble the garment design. both works infinitely informed the other while illustrating.

Personal statement inspired by Anya Katharine and her work titled, “I’ve been told that like raccoons, foxes are
capable of practicing the art of shapeshifting.”
I’ve been told that like raccoons, foxes are capable of practicing the art of shapeshifting
I saw twice
The same fox cross my path
On opposite occasions that were yet still
The same
In the city centre of London
She found me
Subjectively
Incidentally
Broken beer bottles
On curbsides
Are blades of
Green glass
And if taken and scattered in a patch of grass
Deceptively so
You must watch more carefully than you can
Where to place bare feet
Regardless
She took the most of me with her when she left
