We would love to share some amazing photos of our works taken by Dan Meyers at @the_avam exhibition Flaunt - When Appearance Speaks. ✨🦋🪸 The exhibition architecture looks so beautiful and carefully designed. 💖

I giggled so much when seeing our Moth and Micro-plastic Clothes Moth costumes on those mannequin dolls for the first time! We grew into those creatures in a way while planning the short film (The Decomposition, 2025) and making the outfits, and it tickles my mind to see that those moth guys at the AVAM are not us, although they look like us. Hard to describe how funny that feels.

I really wish I could see the Flaunt in person. I've been to Baltimore and the Bay Area twice and I really enjoyed the place. However, the times were really different back then and sadly I don't feel safe travelling to the States right now. Seeing the photos, at least, made this sadness a little bit lighter, so lots of thanks to the kind folks working at the American Visionary Art Museum! 💜
