Created while holding a contradiction—constantly feeling the desire not to stand out and not to appear in public, yet wanting people to see the clothes I made. Expressed the idea of not standing out and blending into the surroundings through camouflage patterns.
LOOK 1: A design made by cutting fabric scraps provided by Goldwin Inc. into camouflage patterns and combining and attaching them together. Believing that camouflage patterns stand out the least on simple items, I created garments that are as simple as possible.
LOOK 2: Rather than incorporating waste materials such as thread scraps and fabric remnants into the clothing, garments where only the pigments from the waste materials were extracted and transferred onto the fabric.
LOOK 3: Clothes upcycled from various waste materials. Knitwear connecting thread scraps and chains. A skirt that transforms from clothing into camouflage using details from secondhand clothes and unworn garments.
Material: Fabric scraps from Goldwin Inc., Thread waste and fabric remnants that became unnecessary at factories and other facilities, Secondhand clothes, unworn garments, and discarded waste materials that are no longer in use

We collect thread scraps that were once clothes and try to reconstruct them into clothing again.
I made the threads by knotting each piece of thread waste 100 times a day, or about 10,000 times in three months, to create the image of a creation of the universe and nature.
