'Worn World' (2022)

Henna, Thread, and Wax, on Fabric, 19x30cm

This project looked to comment on the fast fashion industry, reflecting on what our clothes are made from and where they originate. Based off a shirt I own, made from viscose and in Morocco, I created these 6 pieces. The strips have been decorated with henna, in patterns similar to the shirt florals, and incorporate tree texture with embroidery; this is a nod to the production of viscose material. Each piece is purposefully weathered, reflecting the way that certain clothes go out of fashion so quickly.
