Slay

Statement: "Slay" and "Icon"

In Slay and Icon, I explore the tension between fashion, sustainability, and consumerism.

These works examine how trends, born as artistic expressions in haute couture, become mass-produced and commodified, reflecting society's obsession with status and immediacy.

Slay symbolizes the rush to assert dominance, while Icon critiques the pursuit of eternal status in fashion and culture.

At the core of these works is the environmental crisis driven by the fashion industry. What begins as innovation often turns into overproduction, contributing to textile waste, landfills, and ocean pollution. The endless cycle of buying, discarding, and chasing trends compromises quality and longevity.

Through Slay and Icon, I challenge the notion of fleeting trends and mass consumption, urging reflection on the true cost of our fashion choices and their impact on the planet.

These pieces seek to elevate the conversation about sustainability, creativity, and the ethics of consumerism.
