An intimate glimpse into my concept book, where I capture the essence of our game nights—a blend of trinkets, stories, and laughter shared among friends.
Each gathering is a celebration of my Hispanic heritage, woven into the unique collection of treasures we curate together. Through this lens, I explore the vibrant fusion of culture, camaraderie, and creativity that shapes our shared experiences. By steeping tomato leaves, I craft a delicate, organic lace—its fragility sewn together with intricate floral beads. This creation draws inspiration from the heart of our home: the kitchen table, where the warmth of family and friends gathers over food and card games. It’s a tactile reflection of those shared moments, blending nature’s grace with the nostalgia of our everyday rituals.
OMNIPOTENT OPHELIA:
In this research book, I delve into the art of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood—a movement known for its vivid, detailed realism and romantic depictions of myth and nature. The ethereal beauty of its subjects, often portrayed as both innocent and seductive, aligns with the complex archetype of the femme fatale. These themes are transformed into collage-based inspiration boards, driving my exploration of fabric manipulation and silhouette development, where art and fashion intersect in fluid forms and intricate textures.
