Ephemeral Age
This project is about my fear of aging through the motif of temporary tattoos. The human body goes through a life cycle similar to temporary tattoos: the longer they are worn, the more they start to become dirty and peel off. This theme is split into three sections, "Childhood," "Adult," and "Death." Childhood starts off bright and fun, and through adulthood to death, the garments become more dull and tattered, just like how humans become wrinkled and worn out as they age.
