The Weight We Carry
Emerging from the shadows of memory and myth, this work stands as a haunting exploration of the self — where tenderness is barbed, beauty is bruised, and every stitch carries the weight of personal war. This is not a collection meant to flatter; it’s one that dares to expose.
Rooted in the designer’s personal relationship with pain, the piece becomes a living paradox:
heavy yet soft, empowering yet wounding. Drawing from the natural architecture of horns and antlers — traditionally tools of defense — the design reimagines them as symbols of internal struggle.
What sets this creation apart isn’t just form — it’s emotion. With every movement, the garment reveals its duality. A soft fabric made heavy by time. An elegant silhouette pierced by sharp memory.
As the wearer carries its weight, she also carries the designer’s own history of seeking comfort in destruction.
This piece doesn’t speak loudly. It lingers. It punctures. It creates space for vulnerability without apology — for the messy balance of surviving and softening.
And in the end, it doesn’t ask to be worn by someone else. It chooses no muse, because the story belongs to its maker.
