'The Second Skin'
In a world where textiles pile up as both waste and identity, a body searches for room to breathe.
The Second Skin reveals the silent paralysis of a character trapped in a world of excess, an overconsuming, capitalist reality in which clothing has lost its value and overconsumption has become the norm.
Enveloped in bodily textile sculptures, she balances on the edge between nature and consumption.
In serene, still images, fashion, memory, and nature blend together. The textiles lie on rocks and in the water, as if they have always been there. What was once new and striking has now fallen silent, absorbed into the landscape.
This project invites the viewer to rethink beauty, to read silence as protest, and to feel how deeply capitalism has been sewn into our bodies.
