Prompt: The “Wearable Art” project aims to create a visually stunning and one-of-a-kind wearable art piece by utilizing the Bristol board as the primary material and implementing tessellation as the vital technique. The project aims to combine artistic expression with precise geometry, leading to a captivating wearable art piece encouraging discourse about the interrelation of art, geometry, and fashion.
In this project, I was inspired by the word “anonymous” to create a mask. Using Illustrator, I designed a pattern inspired by organic forms found in nature. In the laser cutting lab, I experimented with various sizes and shapes to explore how they could transform the head’s silhouette. Rather than concealing the face, this mask serves as a sculptural shield of mystery. Crafted from Bristol paper, it represents a balance between past influences and future innovation. Inspired by the fluidity and architectural elegance of Iris van Herpen and Zaha Hadid, this piece reimagines wearable design as a fusion of structure and movement.
