textiles design 

In this project, the use of industrial materials such as PVC, EVA foam and rubber are crafted into futuristic adornments in reflecting towards a post-human body. A coming of an age where our flesh is no longer sustained by our skeleton, but by the exoskeleton that is growing from within. A perfect assembly line of crafted production, each systematically composed from scale to scale, enhancing bodies beyond the human characteristics. ‘The Exoskeleton’ imagines humans' utopian version of their bodies, calling forth a series of wearable outer-shell extensions that supports ‘the newcomer’.
