Softness meets strength. Beneath the Surface draws inspiration from the swan, exploring the tension between fragility and power. What appears calm and effortless carries an underlying intensity, a quiet force that reveals itself through movement, structure, and presence.
This collection reflects the desire to remain composed while holding something deeper beneath. Silk painting creates fluid, water-like surfaces that echo stillness in motion, while wool roving felting on organza builds soft yet structured forms, suggesting both protection and pressure.
Each look moves between serenity and command, openness and restraint. It reveals that elegance is not fragile, but a balance of control and emotion, where delicacy and strength exist within the same form.
