I focused on creating wearable pieces, through the use of constructed designs such as knit and sewing, that showcase my own experiences relating to my body and body dysmorphia.

“This piece is a thick turtle neck with openings on the chest and the back. The chest exposes my birthmark I have since birth while the back shows bruising on my spine. the sweater is made from thick merino wool, a thick sweater is meant to be worn to hide the body while this one shows off my imperfections and what I am worried about. ”
