Why fear?

“In the depths of their soul, a storm rages, manifested in the struggle against the garments of pretence. Each tug of fabric signifies a battle against self-imposed constraints, yet through the process of adaptation, they find a sense of comfort in their own skin. With familiarity comes acceptance, and they emerge from the journey of self-discovery uncovered, embracing their true self with liberation and authenticity.

My inspiration for this project was drawn from the relation between queerness and nature, and how to translate the organic shapes into the human body. Two beings are one, who went through the process of denying who they truely be to slowly accepting it and finding comfort in their inner self.

Various techniques have been applied, from boning to pleating, tucking or 3D printing to achieve my silhouette.” *Lê Văn Hùng
