This work reflects the designer’s thought that the body is a textile that we are born with.
With an attachment to the many identities of humans and animals, such as bones, skin and fur, we expressed the ambiguous borders of textures and changes in contrasts created by docking different materials.
At the same time, we put into our work the desire to celebrate and respect each individual equally, not as a material but as life.

Through her works, she appeals what is essentially good from a sustainable perspective.
