concept

Joo Hyun developed her project from the idea that there is no limit when combining opposites. It is like a paradoxical identity game in which the definitions are always flexible. She played with the contrast between opposite textures and materials, and with different attitudes people have when wearing a bag. This led her to develop items that can be changed and adapted depending on the needs of the wearer in terms of shape and volume.
