OUR SHADOW

- under construction -

I make couture cause it's my way to express my inner world with a wearable artwork. I mainly show mental health subjects that I think we all find hard to face, but do connect us all on being human. 
Currently I am working on a very personal project which will include 5 pieces that Ih have an hate/love relationship with. To reinforce that, I will use scraps and leftovers from my atelier to create these pieces. That way I will clear my space mentally ánd physically.

_____________

This project will contain the subjects: 

Chaos 
Addiction
Need for attention
Selfdoubt
Fear of Failure

  1. CHAOS
     
    Made during Dutch Design Week 2022

  1. COCAINE

Cocaine represent the struggle with addiction in any form. In the design I used elements that will show how it feels to struggle with substance abuse. An example of this is a shiny/glittery mesh tight net-fabric that represents the superficial high and addiction gives us but will eventually have a suffocating effect. The face and eyes are covered to represent the 'mask' we are often hiding behind with an addiction.
