Grounded in a critique of the desires and emptiness that define modern consumerism, this piece uses garment design to interrogate the alienation festering within material wealth. It reimagines seventeenth century aristocratic attire, shaping a moldable fabric into a voluptuous silhouette that mimics a body devoured by desires. A palette of turquoise blue, clashing with sweet pink and sickly yellowish green, creates a superficially alluring yet deeply disquieting effect. This tension invites viewers to contemplate the nature of desires.
