Description

“We are survivors.”-Tom Hardy.

In this collection- I’ve got a war in my mind. A crazy world is being presented in my work. Psychosis or other types of mental disorders have become more prevalent in our society. People who suffer from a mental illness need to pretend to be “normal” in order to fit in. However, many people around us are suffering from mental illnesses. They are trapped and, do not dare to say anything.

Helping hands are always needed.

For the design details, the polyvinyl chloride acts as a broken mirror, so many of us can see ourselves in the mirror fragments that symbolize the hallucinations of a fractured mind. The chaotic mesh fabric suggests feelings of being trapped and entangled. In the dark, the holographic fabric may appear to be merely black cloth, but with adequate lighting, provides a hallucinatory visual effect. Shining a flash onto the material will also impart white reflective effects. The asymmetric design represents the crisis state that the mentally ill are trapped in.
