In the Haptic Bloom, I investigate hand beading, die-cutting, and modular construction, integrating materials with contrasting physical properties—such as sequins and leather—within a single construction system. The project explores the threshold between ornamentation, structure, and craft density.

I approach craft as a generative technical process rather than a decorative addition, and continuously examine how handwork, industrial techniques, and material innovation can collectively shape new modes of making and aesthetic orders within a contemporary fashion context.
