This project aims to create a unique visual language by exploring the various possibilities of natural materials and combining them with textile techniques.

I endeavor to address the issues of production surplus and industrial cycles by utilizing abundant natural materials. Through this project, I envision the temporary transfer of materials from relatively healthier ecosystems, integrating them into human design, and allowing them to naturally decompose back into the natural environment after use.

Moreover, I seek to showcase the boundless possibilities of the plant world by observing plants from different perspectives. In satisfying our yearning for natural diversity, humans create inorganic plants capable of thriving and spreading in any environment and medium.

Hence, I employ the concept of biomimicry, combining it with the diverse fiber patterns of plants, concealing life within transparent resin akin to plant amber. Additionally, I create a rich world of light and shadow through the different colors and textures of the same material. I employ light and shadow to exhibit the material, as a plant's vitality stems from photosynthesis. Thus, the light source presents vitality in an alternative manner. Enveloped in light and shadows, we, like being embraced by the plant world, perceive the nourishment of light.
