concept

In the microcosm of moths, a landscape of vibrant, intimidating and unusual fascination can be observed. Saara’s collection was created by projecting a similar aesthetic onto the human body. The result is twofold: a collection of wearable clothes that can be transformed into a visual statement with the incorporation of a few unique magnified pieces which function as a decorative installation. The collection represents the realisation of a true idea in external form, a silent search for truth.
