About

Design is my way of expressing myself, my thoughts, and my curiosity. Inspiration comes from within, often sparked by an emotion or a thought, driven by a passion for understanding our mental world. I work seamlessly across both physical and digital dimensions, finding joy in intertwining them to create unique and compelling designs.

When going on a virtual camping trip, be sure to dress accordingly.

In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements and the creation of imagined virtual realities, my project seeks to pause and emphasize the importance of physical and tangible experiences over virtual ones. I compare the 'domestic vagabond,' who exists through screens and appears omnipresent but ultimately craves the comforts of home, to the historical, romantic cross-continental vagabond, a world explorer who carries all his possessions on his back. How does one dress in a world of intangible experiences, where weather conditions are irrelevant and destinations are uncertain or non-existent? What happens to practical objects when they lose their meaning? By combining elements from the world of travel, I create a satirical interpretation of the loss of context for functional objects in their virtual existence. Objects have an extraordinary ability to act as conduits for our memories, storing scents and colors that cannot be traced and should be cherished. This collection invites viewers to reflect on the irreplaceable value of physical experiences and the profound connections we form with the tangible world.
