Homelonging – Homecoming

The collection is captured by the longing for home. And the feeling of traveling back in time and freezing time when last time I was back home, to make me feel more close to my beloved ones. Through all the textiles I have expressed homesickness. My 6 year old brother’s drawings have been my biggest inspiration for print design.

Each time I traveled back home, I recorded home sounds, to later on wear headphones and travel back to those good old days with my friends and family members, and that helped me to deal with the distance between me and my beloved ones back in home. With sounds I mean – sand cracking under the shoes, crickets, my brother playing with lego, etc.

The collection is also based on the way I dress myself everyday, there is no such a thing as special occasion garment for myself, so to feel special every day and to treat myself. And layering is one of the main things into this collection.
