Be My Candle or Be a Candle
My design concept is inspired by the transformation of a candle as it melts, reflecting the journey of life. The Korean word Choa (초아) means "burning like a candle to light up the world," a philosophy that shaped my perspective. This idea is expressed through silhouettes inspired by melting wax, capturing the beauty of change and self-transformation. Through this collection, I explore the shift from following others to finding my own light, embracing life’s fleeting beauty.
