“Shadows Through the Lattice” explores garments as spatial instruments, where the body curates movement within negative space.

Rooted in Suzhou garden philosophy and origami geometry, the collection transforms kinetic motion into ephemeral architecture. Structured folds, engineered voids, and shadowplay channel the softness of moon gates and the sharpness of lattice patterns.

Final work
