I investigate the relationship between the internal and the external and how the mind and body are interdependent. By pushing the dualities of grotesque and beauty, I alter the human silhouette and make way to more possibilities. Through material exploration, I create surfaces that have inherent qualities that affect the wearer while simultaneously affecting its environment.   By interpreting the body as a means of communication, I strive to push the limits of what the body is capable of. Using emotion as hierarchy, past experiences unfold through making. I am interested in how fashion moves beyond a representational meaning of garments, beyond the familiar contours of the human body and beyond fixed forms of identity. When we can think about the body in a state of growth and adaptability, we can choose to be resilient and can relate to different ways of thinking about human identity.
