Cell-Conscious Wearable Sculptures
Cell-Conscious emerged directly from my creative practice and my vision for cruelty-free fashion grounded in sustainable, renewable materials such as cork. The project culminates in a series of intentionally crafted wearable sculptures—each a one-of-a-kind artwork. Every piece is derived from my own microscopy images of plant cells, translated through laser-cut cork and finished by hand with non-toxic dyes. Their color palettes draw inspiration from spring and summer blooms as well as the rich chromatic diversity of mushrooms.
