How can a garment become alive — shifting with the environment, and responsive to the body?

SYMBIOSIS DRESS explores the beautiful and synergistic relationship between trees and fungi. With fabric formed to mimic icelandic fungi species, I position the body as the tree on which it grows, and the body joining the symbiosis. Made in collaboration with Silklab, the piece integrates ph reactive dye technology, allowing the garment to change from pink to blue based on external stimuli.
