Decomposition of Materiality and Identities, 2020

“From physical to digital, material to immaterial.”

Laboratory experimentation-led project which resulted in the creation of a glass-like garment made from algae extract and silk cocoon bio waste. The garment's sensitivity to its environment and ability to biodegrade highlights the study’s key focus on sustainability. 

The project relied on 3D technologies to generate, predict and fabricate models of the design object, serving to consciously minimise waste - by contrast to the unsustainable nature of the fashion sector.
