Sold

Vintage silk kimono swatches, Indian cotton, bias binding and cotton threads.

50 x 83 x 1cm

2022

I decided to explore NFTs to archive the swatches before they were chopped or used up. In this way, the materials remain eternal in the shape I inherited. It has been a mind-opening, educational, and challenging experience, and I could feel my brain being stretched from all sides.

I feel it is right to take part in this new media, juxtaposing two conflicting spaces: physical and digital, representing the time in which I exist. This may encourage breaking down walls, misunderstandings, or prejudices and bring about embracement and optimism to seek new ways for human enticements in this space.
