Syn-biomorph
Fashion Design Collection, 2022 - 2023
"Syn-biomorph" is a self-invented word. It could mean a structure or form that combines multiple living organisms or biological elements. It could also refer to a hybrid organism created through synthetic techniques.
My project aims to reinterpret Biomorphism in a sci-fi aesthetic that I am deeply passionate about, drawing inspiration from Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto and Simians, Cyborgs & Women – The Reinvention of Nature.
Haraway's work has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of the "cyborg" as an entity that blurs the lines between human and animal, organism and machine, natural and unnatural. This hybrid form incites a yearning to create something that combines contradicting visual aspects using unconventional materials, ultimately pushing the boundaries of what we perceive as fashion.
In my research, I delved into the world of Biomorphism art, with a particular focus on the sculptures of Isamu Noguchi. Noguchi's art represents a synthesis of Eastern spatial aesthetics and the modern rationality of the West, creating a harmonious blend of organic forms and industrial materials. I am especially drawn to the way Noguchi expertly crafts stones of varying dimensions, evoking a sense of fluidity and movement that translates well into fashion.
