MA work

My journey started from a commitment to peaceful happiness and the belief that a non-violent attitude to the entire ecosystem is fundamental to life and design. I chose to recycle waste from the textile industry and developed a unique process to transform them into material that can be woven. I explored weave structures by carefully listening to the intrinsic voices of these new materials, letting them inspire me step-by-step through playful instinct rather than technical logic. The final collection of fabrics is therapeutic – inviting one to touch and feel, and bringing a smile to one’s face.
