These are not just garments. It is a process made visible. It holds memory, matter, and transformation. Biotextiles born from the earth are the soul of these pieces. One is crafted from coconut flour and makeup, embodying the outer layer of skin, fragile, porous, and protective. The other, made from hibiscus, becomes flesh, rich in color and raw in presence. Over this fleshy layer, I applied a hand-crafted white texture that mimics fat and tendons, adding a visceral realism to the surface. Though each material begins in liquid form, they solidify slowly through an artisanal process.
