SURPRISE

Surprise began with six bags.

Each bag was treated as a complete object first. Then, without deciding the final garment in advance, I drew a different pattern directly onto each one, cut into its existing structure, and turned its own material back onto itself.

What began as a bag slowly became something wearable.

The process was intentionally uncertain. I was interested in what could happen when the result was not fully controlled — when cutting, folding and reconstruction could lead the form somewhere unexpected.

The collection was inspired by transformation in nature, particularly the movement from cocoon to butterfly.

For me, the bag became a kind of cocoon: a closed form holding another possibility inside it.

Nothing new was added to create the garment. The original object was simply re-read, opened and transformed.

The surprise was not decoration.

The surprise was what the object could become.
