E-mail Designer

Gothic. Power of era about God’s Excellency and people’s humility. People who were longing for raising into altitude. Architecture, the art of painting and statuary were strongly marked by the religious motives of Christianity. Architecture was the most expressive among these arts; it combined the era with its powerful objects and showed its strength with details like rosettes, glass partitions and Christian symbols. I applied rays of light into materials with notches, changed a dressing, turned and combined into shapes that come from outside the body. As a contrast to the powerful details on the leather, there is light poetic of material that mitigates the collection and adds a bit of romanticism. I combined the investigation of the era and people’s characters with the Eastern world and its (Islam) religion. Rich jewellery of tiny details is applied as small braided notches, thus one can feel a connection with the Eastern religions and suffering. There are also lace-like face pranks. Covered faces and curiosity about what is under meters of dark material drives us investigate forms that are showed by body movement.
