My project explores the intersection between nature and urban architecture, inspired by my trip to Vienna - the vivid forms and philosophy of the Hundertwasserhaus. Growing up surrounded by structured buildings and grey environments, I’ve always been drawn to spaces where nature breaks through — climbing vines, overgrown balconies, colourful mismatched tiles, reminds me that the natural world doesn’t follow rules, and that’s what makes it beautiful. Through my work, I aim to express this tension between structure and organic growth.  I reevaluate the cityscape of Vienna through a softer lens— where buildings are not rigid, but alive, shaped by colour, plants, curves, and community. My visual language is drawn from the playful architecture of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, combined with small personal observations of nature reclaiming space in the city. The project is both a visual and conceptual exploration, blending digital embroidery, print, texture, and colour to express how design can coexist with the natural world. I believe textiles can tell quiet but powerful stories, and this collection is my way of suggesting that architecture should welcome nature and not fight it. As In the end, we’re only guests here. This project is my most personal and intuitive work to date, and I’m excited to share it as a  beauty of cities that grow wild.
