The Knot

The Knot was inspired by the designer’s personal journey into his creative process. Differing volumes and contrasting colors illustrate the ups and downs of the experience. The layering of light fabrics like organza and chiffon represents the complex stages and emotions that are explored. A motif of chains appears through different dyeing techniques, including cyanotype and bleaching, symbolizing the insecurities that hold an artist back. Drawstrings are also present, acting as the knots that need to be undone to unlock creative potential.
