Unlocking the self - Part 2



2026

Unlocking the Self explores identity as a process of remembering, revealing, and becoming. Rooted in the metaphor of keys, locks, and openings, the collection traces the tension between the public self and the hidden self. Circular forms, key motifs, and layered constructions become quiet mechanisms of transformation, while materials shift between rigidity and softness to reveal fragments that lock, release, and reform in continuous motion.
