Description

I always thought I knew what I liked and what I didn’t.

On my own in Stuttgart, I no longer knew what captivated, inspired and motivated me. I felt empty and devoid of ideas. This challenge that designing presents to me made me angry and overwhelmed. I felt naked and exposed, with all my weaknesses.

In my master’s thesis, I make myself the subject. I attempt to view myself from the outside and to bring out my innermost self. Not without self-doubt and fears, but with the aim of becoming a confident designer.

Working on design forces me to work truthfully and honestly; design is an attempt to express my emotions. I work with my fears and vulnerabilities without letting them overwhelm me. I work with them to overcome them. I channel these emotions creatively into both drawings and garments.
