This project speculates on garments as beings or organisms, structures that emerge independently of the human body, yet engage with it. Using experimental knitting techniques and unusual materials like paper yarn, the pieces take on organic, animal-like, or botanical forms. The focus is on the material life of the garment itself and the intuitive, evolving process of making. Some works reference historical clothing, but these references become distorted and blurred through the act of creation.

Knitting is used as a generative tool, turning simple strips of fabric into complex, sculptural structures. The textures resemble hair, skin, or bone, blurring the line between body and textile. Challenging body-centric approaches to fashion, the project proposes a speculative mode of making in which garments do not exist solely to dress, but instead create environments of their own – spaces where they coexist with, adorn and transform the body.
