concept
Stemming from the belief that the power of beauty and poetry can help to forget the toughness of the surrounding world. Inspired by Renaissance art, recreating the effect of brushstrokes using textiles, then "trapping" them inside organza nets to reference today's scaffoldings and nets on ancient Roman architecture undergoing renovation or reconstruction. A beautiful contrast: the coexistence of ancient and modern makes the architecture even more appealing while at the same time symbolising modernity's attempt to protect and preserve antiquity.
