About
As a fashion design graduate, I draw deep inspiration from nature, fantasy, and the alternative, infusing my work with layers of hidden meaning. To me, fashion is a profound form of artistic expression where the lines between art and fashion blur seamlessly. Through my designs, I strive to transcend conventional boundaries, using clothing as a canvas to authentically express my creativity and vision.
My portfolio presents a visual narrative inspired by a dystopian vision where nature contends with transformational turmoil caused by humanity's pursuit of profit over environmental health. Through mixed media prints, I explore themes of dark beauty to captivate viewers and prompt deeper contemplation. My creative process begins with spontaneous acrylic paint pours on canvas, capturing ephemeral patterns in close-up photographs. Digital manipulation in Photoshop refines these textures, revealing hidden forms. Symmetry anchors my compositions amidst chaotic narratives, inviting viewers to engage with ecological themes. Influenced by artists like Marco Mazzoni and Alexander McQueen, I challenge boundaries, merging animal and human forms, aiming to provoke environmental consciousness
