Concept Statement

An intersection between science and spirituality, the Sulphur collection dissects ideologies from space and human existence and amalgamates these with newfound aspects of the physical universe as we rediscover it. The integration of the newly completed James Webb telescope and its images into our lives and general understanding of life itself as an observer of the epoch when the first stars began has both a very intimate and existential quality. When reflecting on Earth’s rich variety of landscapes, we are met with our own other-worldly ecosystems. With references to the rugged and vibrant landscapes birthed from Ethiopia’s sulphuric springs, this collection boasts free-flowing and oversized silhouettes, signifying a movement away from body-hugging garments. Naturally-derived fabrics were utilised to parallel the many elements that are found on earth as a result of collision with our planet.
