Rave Premise - 2023
The inspiration for this collection originated from the video game 'Stropophagia,' a gripping virtual experience where players find themselves trapped in a nightmarish carnival, subjected to a psychological ordeal while under the influence. Delving into the uncharted territory of exposure to influence became a compelling mystery.
The captivating visuals, vibrant colors, and in-game avatars were significant sources of inspiration. The collection, a tapestry of colors, symbols, and narrative dynamics, draws strength from these elements.
The exploration of the intricate relationship between story and player, along with an understanding of how choices mold the narrative, played a pivotal role in shaping this collection, translating through Crochet Weaving, Dry Felting, Weaving, and Patchwork Bias Strips in a deep palette highlighted throughout with neon green.
