research 

My research is practice-based and evolves alongside my artistic and design work. It does not produce fixed theoretical models but unfolds through observation, making, reflection and iterative testing. The following fields, notes and case studies express ongoing questions, thematic threads and conceptual interests that shape my practice.

Research Fields
- Fashion as scenographic system
- Image production and visual authority
- Narrative sequencing and editorial logic
- Fashion in institutional and exhibition contexts
- Making, labour and demystification
- Practice-based artistic research

Working Notes
(distilled from Master’s research)

- Fashion does not express identity; it stages it. The self appears through demonstration rather than authenticity.
- Visibility in fashion is never neutral. It is organised through spatial, visual and narrative structures.
- Normativity in fashion operates less through explicit rules than through repeated images and codes of appearance.
- Immersion does not dissolve distance; it reorganises it. Participation can function as a controlled form of spectatorship.
- The body is not central by default in fashion; it is positioned, displaced or fragmented through staging.
- Fashion produces meaning through excess of images, symbols and gestures; rather than through reduction.

Selected Questions

- How does fashion construct authority without explicit instruction?
- Where does fashion gain legitimacy and where does it lose friction?
- What happens when fashion’s systems of staging are deliberately displaced?
- How can making expose dependency without abandoning aesthetic intensity?
- How do images and objects circulate as systems of visibility?
- In what ways does architectural staging reorganise spectatorship?
