Entry Description

This collection explores how intuition can lead to more honest results than logic. Influenced by jazz, where musicians improvise within structure, it reflects a shift from rigid planning to spontaneity. With a classical music background, this approach felt unfamiliar but freeing. Garment dyeing and stitch resist techniques were used to create subtle, unpredictable changes. Familiar pieces are reimagined with instinctive distortions, making the process a personal exercise in trusting intuition over control and allowing emotion and experimentation to shape the final form.
