Exhibition view at Fashioning Frequencies, London College of Fashion, UK

What The Skin Won’t Hold interrogates materiality, surface, and transformation, where the body and paint coalesce in a state of flux. Engaging with ‘leakiness’ as both process and metaphor, my practice dismantles fixed boundaries, allowing skin, pigment, and texture to bleed into one another. Handles—usually markers of control—become ambiguous gestures, anchoring touch while inviting dissolution. The concept of collapse, whether physical, conceptual, or temporal, introduces a dynamic instability, resisting stasis. My work embraces erosion, absorption, and impermanence, embodying a world where structure is never absolute, but always in motion, responding to touch, time, and the traces left behind.
