My thesis collection is about “Vitality,” the capacity to live and develop, and a “life force” that separates the living from the dead. An American writer, Andrew Solomon, once came up with one quote, “The opposite of depression is not happiness but vitality.” As we live in this extreme, fast-paced, and advanced society, our lives have substantially changed due to fast developments of technologies and environments; we begin to lose the initial pursuit of life. When we start losing vitality, we lose ourselves in the process, as long as our humanity, senses, and fullness. We become soulless and emotionless. So, my womenswear collection is about highlighting the beauty and importance of growth, recognizing the importance of vitality, and creating a breathable experience.  I aim to break out of this surface level we are busy living on and feel alive again.
