A visual language of loss and tenderness, rooted in fragments of the remaining. The collection emerges from Michelle’s deeply personal engagement with loss: Out of this grew garments that float between form and fragment. Elements of Traditional Polish dress are reimagined in delicate, hand-dyed fabrics, lace from home, and floral motifs as faded echoes of memory.
Every material carries a story, every cut becomes a gesture of remembrance. Saskia Kinast’s photographic interpretation offers a complementary perspective: Her work, deeply rooted in diversity and shaped by her experience as a woman, brings a distinctly female gaze to the project. The result is a visual language that holds both softness and clarity, vulnerability and strength. In her images, textile traces of memory meet still gestures of the body. Nature, garment, and gaze merge into suspended moments – spaces of resonance, between light and shadow, intimacy and absence.
Kwiatownik is a visual book of mourning.
A bloom of remembrance.
A collective pause – without words.
