The Objects That Shape Us
The objects we choose, wear and surround ourselves with reveal something about who we are, what we value and how we see the world. Yet the relationship works both ways. Objects shape us in return — influencing how we feel, how we behave and even who we become.
A shirt becomes a statement. A discarded material finds new value. A work of art takes on a different meaning with each viewer.
My practice moves between fashion, art and design, exploring this relationship between people and objects. I determine their form, material and possibilities, but what happens next remains open. Meaning emerges through the people who wear, use, encounter and live with them.
