My project is themed around regeneration and upcycling. I was initially inspired by the idea of hope emerging from something seemingly dead and how beautifully desert life captures that from the dried textures of a tree to the contrasting flow of an oasis in a barren desert and the harshness of cacti. I furthered my research on this theme by exploring environmental issues in the Atacama Desert, where tons of clothes are dumped, contributing to the current global waste crisis. I also examined the global effects of climate change in the Arctic. Both the visuals from the Arctic and desert inspired my design responses, leading me to explore different techniques to translate those elements onto fabric using mostly second hand materials
