I layer earth materials to mimic the planet's surface, with each piece representing a microcosm of the land we stand on. The final touch is a dusting of natural golden mica, which creates a shimmering façade that speaks to the allure of fast fashion. My process is slow and deliberate, in stark contrast to the rapid cycles of fast fashion. I carefully select and mix earth pigments, honoring the very ground that the fashion industry often overlooks. The mica, applied by hand, symbolizes not just glamour, but also the thin line between perceived value and environmental cost.
The glittering surface represents the 60% increase in clothing purchases since 2000, while the textured earth beneath serves as a reminder of the resources consumed: oil, water, and land. Through these artworks, I aim to challenge the industry's claims and the artificial glitter surrounding microtrends, encouraging a reflection on sustainable practices and the impact of our consumption choices.
