Whelve - 2023

Inspired by Pedro Almodóvar's iconic movie "High Heels," this collection, titled ‘Whelve’ delves into the notion that attachments function as personal prisons, ensnaring individuals in a web of unresolved traumas and emotions.

These attachments have the potential to hinder progress and impede one's journey forward in life. With a dominantly black color palette, techniques include garments puffed with stuffing and the use of jersey strips and metal hoops.
