MENTAL SIDE

The MENTAL SIDE collection, inspired by ADHD, confronts the problem of social ignorance and the resulting perception of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mainly as a childhood disorder, with the real, multidimensional structure of the phenomenon.

The collection is a multiplied look inside: first at a person with a disorder, then deep into their mind and then - to the state of individual thoughts. The latter becomes almost impossible - due to the chaos inside. Thousands of thoughts per second - this is an absolute value that makes it difficult to focus and achieve the goals you set yourself, at a similar pace.

________________

Deconstruction and chaotic lines are supposed to provoke reflection on the mental side of the problem. The dynamics of strings and yarns that tangle and melt together indicate an ongoing process. The chaos that reigns in the construction of elements is the visual equivalent of internal states. The transparency of some materials indicates disclosure and exposure of the individual to stimuli coming from the outside world. Contrasting with them, rich in form - supplemented with down, the assortments are a kind of cushioning, they are synonymous with subconsciously generated protection against excess of these impulses.
The collection balances between different weights of materials - light fabrics in the form of tulle or thin knitted fabrics contrast with heavy and thick ones. This dualism is an attempt to transfer to the elements of the collection the discrepancy between the superficial view of the disorder by society and the weight of the F90.0 for an individual in reality.
