Α-teleia explores the contrast between nature’s perceived perfection and its intrinsic imperfection through the use of leaf skeletons. I merge organic materials with modern technology by incorporating the vein networks into fabric through bonding, embroidery, and laser-cut patterns. This approach pushes the boundaries of materiality while informing the silhouette as fluid and organic. Accounting for sustainability, I aim to reduce the need for chemical dyes and recycle offcuts to minimize waste.
