Wings of Change
The velvet top with “wings” embodies the lightness of letting go. Its movable side parts allow for a play between confinement and freedom, with arm movements symbolizing the shift between self-restriction and liberation. The satin skirt was worked with laser cutting and shows a pattern reminiscent of shards and mirror fragments. It symbolizes the moments when we reflect on our expectations, recognize them as burdensome, and take the courageous step to let them go. Like shards of a broken mirror, the pattern represents both the fragility of our expectations and the liberation that lies in letting go. Its high waist initially creates confinement, while the slit then gives freedom again. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a new, liberated self emerges from the shards.
