The World In Between

“The World In Between” is a visual research about a world in between living and dying. By telling my story and my perspective about death, I create a new world where people can find safety and calm within this subject. I challenge the concept of death in a way that it’s not harsh or negative, but it has a silver lining. There is something beautiful to be found in such a tragedy. Each piece expresses itself like poetry, as if you are never alone. By choosing to see beyond the intangible, we can communicate with the deceased. We never lose a person – as long as you are alive, they stay alive within you.

Someone doesn’t just die – they live on. It’s just a different way of living.

The Spirit Dress:

Within this abstract concept you see the Spirit Dress, the dress mimics how a spirit shows itself. When standing (or hovering) still, you won’t see my mothers face on the skirt, yet when it moves, the face reveals itself. Apart from the face, when moving, the fabric glides, it moves unnaturally. This character of the skirt reinforces its story. The dress is more than just a dress. The spirit can only be observed when it wants to. This garment was inspired by my experiences with mediums, spirits and stories from my friends/family. The face on the skirt is neutral. A spirit lets go of its earthly emotions, so it was only fitting to use this image.

Graduation collection process:
LOOK 10 ~ The Spirit

For the past three months I’ve been working on my graduation collection. I’m building the world in between life and death. How do we communicate with the deceased? Where do we find them? What are ways to communicate? Where do we get untouched with the unreachable?

For the collection I’m designing 10 looks, all based on my own personal experiences with death and communication. I had the idea for this dress way before uni started again and seeing it develop in front of my eyes is such a blessing. It’s gone through many different designs, but the final illustration feels just right.

It’s made with 80 meters of organza, many hours of printing, cutting, sublimation, more cutting and sewing. For now 20% done with the design.
