Loneliness is a universal phenomenon increasingly felt as people choose more and more to shut themselves inside their homes for extended periods due to negative exposures and experiences in society.
Throughout civilization people lived in groups, depending upon one another for survival. Today, however, people are more independent and capable of surviving on their own.
I researched assorted attempts to replace human intimacy with material objects.
My collection, designed for both men and women, exudes lonely feelings of depression, anxiety, and despair, whilst embodying imprints on the garments that serve as reminders of various personal and everyday objects that can help comfort loneliness and fill our empty voids. The garments are made from comfortable and pleasant textiles and items that provide a cozy homey feel, for wear both around the house and outside.
-Some of the prints in which transformative use is made in my research project originate from the site- wallpaperaccess.com
