Legs are coming soon

The arrival of the Metaverse, a virtual world that is seen as a 3D model of the internet, is driving investments in the development of the body and fashion in virtual space. It could become an alternative reality where life can be spent digitally. As the digital and physical world merge further, the boundaries of the physical body will be explored and perhaps unrecognizably transformed. ‘Disembodiment’ occurs, the alienation of our own body. It is a change that makes the body no longer a body. By stripping body and clothing of their familiar context, I open up the possibility of transformation. When something becomes something else. In this project is 'disembodiment' a visual element. Through abstraction and alienation, I investigate the ways in which body and clothing can become new forms.
