PRE THESIS (2024)


The intertwining forces of our childhood experiences and parental care significantly amplify the cravings of our past, serving a pivotal role in the formation of one’s emotions and attachments. This interplay not only shapes one's sense of identity but also fosters a deeper emotional self-awareness.The “Parent Effect”
In behavior modeling, an individual can learn new behaviors by observing. The correct behavior is demonstrated for the learner, the learner observes the model, and then imitates the behavior of the model.

MATERIALITY/ EXPLORATION: TECHNOLOGY
For pre-thesis materiality, I explored laser cutting to create my own floral trims as symbolisms relating to my parents. The laser cut orchids were graphically illustrated on Adobe Illustrator then transfered to laser cut on Silk Organza. The materials used to laser cut was 100% natural in considertaion of the encvironment.For pattern exploration, I furthered my studies on CLO3D to create digital patterns through the program.
