About X World 衣服
X Worldは、昆虫のX線写真から着想を得たコンセプチュアルな衣服である。昆虫の外骨格を身に着けられる形へと翻訳し、殻のような構造を幾層にも重ねて人体にまとわせている。X Worldは、無形文化遺産に登録されている中国の宮灯（palace lantern）の工芸技術を用いて制作された。数多くの素材実験を経て、針金によるフレームと絹の紗（シルクガーゼ）を組み合わせ、軽やかでありながらしなやかな構造を実現している。繊細でありながら強靭なこの衣服は、脆さそのものを一時的な保護のかたちとして提示している。

- Vulnerability is the body's natural "airbag" that turns it into protection when we are faced with a difficult or mentally challenging situation. I think of this protection as an insect exoskeleton attached to our bodies, providing a temporary sense of security. I made this "exoskeleton" into clothes. It's beautiful and fragile, thin and tough.
