concept

It was summer when Percy designed and crafted a set of transparent mahjongs. When four people play mahjong, the focus of the game is not the mahjong anymore, but the tension and suspicion between players. From this idea, Percy began to question herself about what "transparency" means. Is "seeing" truly "believing"? How does transparency affect what we see? Inspired by various artists such as Dalí, Hyungkoo Lee and Stelarc, this eyewear collection wants people to question the reality of what they see.
