Artists‘ Fear
Category: Apparel
Competitions: International
Artists’ Fear explores the anxiety of rejection, invisibility, and the pressure of constant evaluation within creative practice. Inspired by the repetitive cycle of applying, being rejected, and starting over, the collection translates these experiences into structured silhouettes, repetition, and controlled forms. Perforated deadstock leather plays a key role by introducing unpredictability into otherwise systematic constructions, creating a dialogue between control and vulnerability. Combined with deadstock textiles, the project demonstrates how existing materials can be transformed into contemporary garments with conceptual depth, functionality, and lasting value.
