By creating artworks in the form of “clothes”, I express my resentment and defiance against the fashion industry.
As an antithesis to mass consumption that generates fleeting trends, I devote my soul and time to each piece by sewing everything by hand and layering ornaments like painting a picture.
I create works that empower those who wear them.
