My work explores the boundaries of new media and poetry; the verses are represented graphically by a collage, a symbol and a colour to communicate the poem throughout an aesthetic way.
ABSCOND
I am not present but I reside here,
A song out of tune,
A discarded melody.
I am a body with clothes
A face I cover,
A hidden smile.
I am the path I’ve walked
And the places I haven’t been to.
I don’t pray to your God,
I might not say hello.
I am not a part of something,
I am absent but I am here.

ABSCOND speaks mixed traditional and contemporary languages to express poetry.
How does project benefit the wider society?
I hope it evokes critical aspects of fashion consumption and identity.
How did/does this project benefit author (authors/makers of the project)?
It allowed me to explore a new media to expand in the interdisciplinary of fashion.
Tell us something about your view on communication. What is your / your organisation's / initiative's (visual) communication philosophy?
I aim to formulate new questions about fashion as a sociological study.
What about the process of creating this work? Please describe it.
I used recycled old calendars for the city images and juxtaposed them with free mainstream street magazine editorials then painted the areas I wanted to evoke a special feeling from, as a way to signify the iconic.
