L'absence is inspired by my personal experience with loss and the emotions that come with it. The designs are structured yet delicate, reflecting the complexity of grief. The glass-like corset symbolizes the fragility and strength that coexist during mourning, while the image of the spider lily, a flower linked to death and remembrance, is a central motif in the pieces, representing both the beauty and impermanence of life. This collection is my way of processing grief and letting go.
