I explored the concept of identity in art and design, highlighting the tendency to categorize works by similar characteristics, such as materials, which often leads to overlooking their diversity. To challenge this stereotypical thinking, I aim to stop defining rigid categories and instead promote a more open perspective on objects, maintaining their possibilities.
This piece crafted from eco-friendly, vegetable-tanned horse butt hide, it celebrates the unique texture and durability of the material. The intricate anatomical detailing highlights the complexity and beauty of the human form, seamlessly transforms between a garment, wearable soft sculpture, and real sculpture.By merging fashion design with fine art, this piece challenges traditional boundaries, offering versatility and innovation. It encourages sustainable practices by using naturally tanned leather and promotes a mindful approach to fashion and art. This work exemplifies the future of slow fashion, where durability, sustainability, and aesthetic beauty converge, allowing wearers and viewers to experience art in a deeply personal and transformative way, to redefine our understanding of art and utility.
