Clown

This collection draws inspiration from the universal yet concealed experience of wearing a mask in a complex world. Individuals often maintain a façade akin to smiling clowns despite being aware of manipulation by unseen forces. This collection, titled "Clown," delves into this enigmatic life experience through deeply symbolic design elements.
Each piece in the collection is infused with profound symbolism: the use of black and white colors and dramatic lines and pleats evokes the clown's façade, while the innovative cuts and lines suggest a manipulated fate reminiscent of a marionette. Delicate hand stitching and meticulous fabric work are employed to convey the contradictory and intricate emotional states inherent in this theme.
The "Clown" series transcends mere garments; it represents an expression of a life attitude, reflecting the intricate interplay between appearance and reality, manipulation and autonomy.
