Soft Gun

SoftGun explores the emotional and sustainable potential of leather. The project explores how material imperfections—especially those found in naturally damaged or offcuts skins—can carry culture, story, and beauty. Instead of using new & flawless leather, I intentionally worked with pieces that found from leather factories wastes —materials that are often discarded in conventional production. These pieces are treated not as defects but as living surfaces, rich with story and texture. Through experimental techniques such as laser cutting, digital embriodery, and printing–leather fusion, I reimagined leather as a series of expressive textiles that can be used in posibilities within the fashion context. Storytelling emerges through illustrations that reflect my imagination of the wild and my reinterpretation of traditional Western aesthetics. I develop both digital and handmade textiles that are embedded into jacket linings, in subtle, hidden ways. This project reflects a commitment to sustainability, both materially and emotionally: using what is usually considered waste, and transforming it into something tactile, personal, and meaningful.
