This capsule collection brings together hand stitching, natural dyes, and found organic materials such as bones and shells. Through slow, repetitive processes and minimal compositions, the work foregrounds material honesty and the traces of previous life embedded within each element.

Each piece functions as a quiet record of time and place. Stitch becomes a method of marking time, reminiscent of ancient calendars and measurement systems. Natural dyes carry the memory of landscape, while bones and shells exist as physical remnants — holding both absence and presence.

Rather than conceal irregularity or imperfection, the work allows process and material history to remain visible. In doing so, this collection reflects on value, care, and the transformation of overlooked materials through acts of making.
