This project aims to challenge societal disciplinary discourse around the body through wearable fashion objects. In my practice, I employ a design language that combines surgical sutures, simulated bruising tattoo techniques, and forms reminiscent of "discarded body tissue" to explore how grotesque aesthetics can be transformed from a visual fringe into an enduring bodily practice. The series visually narrates the complete journey from "trauma and repair to everyday wear." By repurposing tissue removed through liposuction into wearable bag accessories, I transform it from an uneasy warning into a sincere blessing for the body.
