I am exploring biomimicry within this collection, particularly molecular biology and cellular illustrations. I perceive garments as emotive membranes, extending the boundaries of self-expression and identity for the wearer. To manifest this vision into tangible products, I am mimicking the protective qualities of soft tissue membranes through the utilization of organic forms, effectively encasing and enveloping the wearer within a nurturing 'cage'.

My muse embodies an unorthodox, vibrant, and eco-conscious persona, reflecting a keen awareness of climate issues.
