5 / Inhale X Exhale
2019
"Inhale X Exhale" represents my exploration of the moment of stillness between the sequences of events, the pause between inhaling and exhaling, and the space that connects the passage of time. My vision is to simplify an abstract reality, focusing on the essence of form. The garments in this collection embody a minimalist aesthetic with a strong emphasis on construction and craftsmanship.
Drawing inspiration from yogic philosophies, spirituality, and the concept of flow, I designed the garments to capture their "form" - a fixed position in time - and then observed how they naturally collapse on the human body during the "exhale" in motion. This collection is shape-oriented, showcasing the art and science of pattern-making and problem-solving.
I am deeply fascinated by the intersection of art and functionality, and how clothing can transcend beyond mere adornment to become a reflection of deeper concepts and ideas. "Inhale X Exhale" is an expression of my creative vision, and I am thrilled to share it with the world, inviting others to experience the beauty and meaning behind the garments in this collection.
