Artist Statement

“I once learned, and never forgot that “fashion is walking art.” This turned into a philosophy of mine and in the coming years since learning that, I always wanted to involve some aspect of fashion into my art. 

These pieces delve into my mind and what occupies it most. What is consuming my consciousness? Is it fashion, something that has, from a young age, occupied my thoughts even when I did not know what it truly meant? Fashion, that expresses my internal thoughts as a vessel, something I was driven to pursue as a career from the moment I learned how to draw? Or is it the subconscious, where the ideas I internalize manifest themselves into dreams - dreams that are almost always vivid and that I have recorded for years.

How do dreams function as a tool for creative thinking or artistic inspiration? It offers a way to create something different. A method to surprise yourself, or a way to access originality. If you designed a fashion show inspired by your dreams, what would it look like? This is my interpretation.”
