Quintus (2021)
“If you immerse yourself into a foreign language, then you can actually rewire your brain.”
- Arrival (2016)
As can one by entertaining anything that challenges the human obsession with linearity. The straight lines of a language, road, diamond, or any action at all. Every existence that is directed by time is altered when said time is no longer treated as a linear construct.
Christopher Nolan narrates in one film a possibility where time is taken out of the context it captures us in, and instead introduced as a fourth dimension. It is no longer start to finish, but happens all at once.
This constant loop of being is massive and easy to be lost in, if one is not bound by intent and emotion to the elements in it. Now we can choose where we belong in this endless universal library.
I present to you a collection in lux breathable fabrics, inspired by the wholeness of this circular concept.
Here is Quintus, a brief study of cyclical time.
Techniques: Beading, fabric dyeing, crinoline.
