Captured in Cloth is a textile collection inspired by the dynamic interplay of light and shadows. Rooted in Impressionist influences, I explore how fleeting natural phenomena can be translated into tangible textile designs. The collection comprises three distinct themes — Quiet Gray, Luminous Afternoon, and Golden Harmony — each capturing different phases of daylight. Through meticulous weaving and printing techniques, I bring the ephemeral beauty into the material world, creating textiles that resonate with both fashion and interior design.
