look i

“kosmos (the dome shirt and bottom-sealed skirt)”

canvas, acrylic (top); taffeta, silk twill (skirt-pants)

in 𝘮𝘺 hearsay of plato’s 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑒𝑢𝑠, the universe is composed of geometric forms, interwoven into a unified, spherical whole. the boundaries between inside and outside dissolve, as the cosmos exists as a perfect and self-contained entity. it is where the open is closed, and the inside is the outside — a 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦, eternal unity.

the upper garment, constructed from double-layered canvas, is joined by a transparent dome (cat bag bubble/xwx) over a chest cutout, revealing the liminal space between the two layers — a 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘳 inside of the garment. the lower piece, a sealed circular a-line skirt with pant legs emerging from its base, manifests the notion of openness within closure.


look ii

“the ‘becoming’ shirt”
a realer 5-pocket 

2024

balenciaga-sourced fabric (top); cotton denim (pants)


a pretending prodigy after two lines of socrates, you readers speak what’s been left out. (4th?)

“it’s a double-layered shirt, with the inner layer smaller than the outer. the air between them acts as the padding.”

“flip a pair inside, it’ll wear itself.”






look iii

“demiurgic dress”

2024

“this is made from one single piece of fabric.”
