Montserrat Aguilar is a Mexican designer graduated in 2015 at Centro: Diseño, Cine, Televisión. She has always been attracted to music, arts, nature and the relation between them.

The brand emerged when she started her graduate project which was inspired in aerial views of landscapes modified by men, specially the compositions that assemble an abstract painting due to the color palette and forms in them. Those elements are translated in a variety of interventions, silhouettes and textures applied on each piece of the collection.

M-A2 tries to represent nature problems and communicate them through her designs in order to create a bond between the garment and the subject. An exploration of the strange relationship of human beings with nature is present, every intervention applied on the textiles is a representation of the alterations on the planet by men; screen print, paint and embroidery are some of the techniques the designer uses.

Lead by the conjunction of sport and formal, her garments may seem simple at first sight but each piece has a lot of details and meaning.

WHITE SPACE

The fact that several artists around the world seek to appease their concerns about the planet’s deterioration through art has a huge impact. In each of the compositions, the viewer can observe harmony within the associated chaos of those alterations through color, scale and shape.

These damaged landscapes have been the inspiration for exceptional projects captured by photographers David Maisel and Yann Arthus-Bertrand, who have transformed these destroyed areas into art and have found a way to show beauty in the grotesque; representing it in a series of photographs that impacts any observer.

It is precisely what these photographs communicate what is applied to the White Space Collection: the abstraction of colors, textures and shapes that, only deeply studied, can reveal environmental disasters that seem to be abstract paintings of landscapes.
