COLOR & MATERIAL STUDY 2022–2024
TRANSFORMATIVE TEXTILES
1. SELF-SUPPORTING SYSTEM
WITH TWIST TIES
I researched twist-ties characteristics by experimenting with how they fold, shrink, and crump.
Each woven sample has a different shape and size as I manipulate them with my hands. This hand manipulation experimentation shows the advantages of the material itself and the possibility of transformation.

2. INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS WITH COLOR INTERACTION
I’ve always been interested in and inspired by scaffolding systems in New York City. The multi-layered structure and system inspire me to think about how two different elements can be harmonized and saturated with each other. I explored industrial materials of different colors and how they can be absorbed as a full spectrum through these material samples.
3. MATERIALS WITH ELONGATION AND ELASTICITY IN WOVEN FABRIC
I explored materials such as synthetic nylon and plastic transparent cords through woven pieces and how these synthetic cords’ characteristics: elongation and elasticity create the form more freely function in the woven pieces.
