NEBULOSA SCRAPS

Bringing new life into the delicate lace of an old garment, weaving a poetic interplay of transparency and hidden layers. The sheer lace reveals fragments of discarded fabrics—once deemed scraps, now transformed into vibrant fillers of texture and color. It explores the dialogue between the exterior and interior: What is meant to be discarded? What is worth preserving? Through this transformation, it asks us to reconsider the potential of what we throw away, as even the forgotten can hold beauty and purpose.
