This project is a provocation, a message, and a reflection on personal and collective responsibility in our relationship with clothing. It aims to encourage viewers to rethink how their clothes are made, what materials are used, and why clothing matters beyond trends and aesthetics. Clothing is our most intimate and universal form of design—it touches our skin, shapes our identity, and communicates who we are. It can empower, protect, divide, or invite. Through this project, I explore the complex role fashion plays in our lives.
