Branching Hands
More than attire, this is a spatial sculpture — something that fuses with the body rather than rests upon it. Branching Hands explores transformation: arms become branches, fabric loses its solidity, revealing movement, breath, fragility. It asks: where does the human end and the natural begin? Real dry branches pierce through shredded, hand-dyed layers of fabric, as though growing from within. Muted tones blend with the landscape. Leather straps both secure the form and create tension between wildness and control. Branching Hands is not a character but a forest spirit, a drifting presence — an outward and inward sprouting, a root system of emotion, extending into space.
