Aiming to create something new but not using anything new, we use leaves, trees, and dead stock materials that have fallen in parks and on roads and are no longer in use.
Clothes are thrown away when they get dirty or deteriorate, so we chose plants that are dirty, distorted, and deteriorating from the beginning as materials. We find beauty in the process of becoming obsolete and propose values that do not need to be perfect.
By using naturally occurring biodegradable materials such as fallen leaves, branches, cotton materials, and starch glue, it is possible to return them to the soil. We have created clothes that circulate on the premise that they will be disposed of.
