concept

“Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will and the desire for aesthetic perfection. It links the abstract world of mental concepts to the real world of physical things without being located completely in either” (Courant and Robbins). Driven to find these beautiful, ordered and unpredictable moments in the complexity within the bounds of mathematics. With the help of collaborators from other fields of study it was possible to question the idea of beauty and its relationship with science and art. The following step consisted in translating the concept of unknown chaos into the textiles to construct garments that create a world apart, with its own rules and its own code of beauty.
