I'LL JUST BURY YOU IN MY HEART
2017
A ritual of the heart. One-of-a-kind dresses made from dead-stock fabric and an old men's suit jacket. Once completed the dresses were buried with symbolic flowers for several months, completely altering their original appearance.

MEMENTO MORI/ AGLIOPHOBIA
2013
An artistic collection of garments comprising two layers: Memento Mori and Agliophobia. The first layer is a series of corsets inspired by what is literally underneath our skin and symbolises the bare bones of thoughts and feelings we carry deep within. The corsets were buried in the ground for several weeks, giving them dilapidated and stained look, which metaphorically alludes to the the fragility of our inner self and the act of burying feelings. The second layer symbolises the daily armour we wear. They cover the body almost completely, giving only a little glimpse of what is underneath and represent both the physical things and the behaviours we dress our selves in.
