FRAGMENTATION, 2022

Waste has been an overwhelming problem in this new age, for where beauty is found, beauty is ruined.

Fragmentation defines a collection of textile pieces which visualizes the true, complete nature of the ocean through textural play in hopes to advocate against destructive activities to the oceanic ecosystem. Fragmentation demonstrates a realistic and optimistic mindset of ocean awareness through the juxtaposition of beauty and ruin. 

​

Inspired by various textures and forms of coral reefs (beauty) and ghost nets (ruin), fragmentation focuses on free-motion embroidery and knitting. Inspired by the colors of the sunset and the ocean collectively, fragmentation maximizes the use of pre-existing materials to apply the positive textile practice.
