Light effects express changing emotions. A slow fade suggests breathing, and a flash suggests excitement. A sensing glove is included as part of the costume. When a member of the audience touches the hand of the dancer, the light changes in response to the touch. The design aims to strengthen the emotional connection between performers and viewers.

Self Defense Mechanism

Self Defense Mechanism is a menswear collection designed to act as a protective layer for the wearer. The collection responds to an era of information overload, in which people receive more messages each day than one person can absorb.
