concept

"Discovering that every single chemical element in our body was once formed in the centre of a star had me in a head spin." What would happen if a supernova represented the death of the bag? If we erased everything we know about bags and started from scrap with the pure "chemical elements" of what used to be a bag, using today's technology and materials? What would they look like? Using carbon fibre, with references of a mother's womb about to give birth and shapes of deep sea creatures the bags border between art and wearable pieces. Graduated in applied arts in Belgrade and with a background in a variety of disciplines - among which architecture, interior design and sculpture - Ivana explores the dramatic event of a supernova, the death of star ultimately driving the birth of a new star.
