Illusory contours

Illusory contours

My initial inspiration surrounds the theme of illusion and how the lines and forms are performed within the human body to create a sense of deception. Traditional eastern european costume and specifically ethnic elements and the boning-constructions of the costume also contributed towards my idea. I found a synthetic tubular material as a substitution of the lines and forms to express the human body silhouette. The shape of the marble arch and the use of colour in the arabic architecture and art also is great element that inspired my collection.
