ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This image is called Aphonic, meaning silent or without a voice.

I'm connected with all my pieces on an emotional level and this one in particular is deeper than the other ones. This is my first piece that I have conceptualized and it really comes from a deep personal part of who I am and who I want to become.

Aphonic is based around the idea of showing the beauty of mother nature while highlighting the problems plastic and trash have created and how we are slowly destroying our environment.

I chose to work with designer Candi Gordon, a recent SCAD graduate, whose focus in the fashion industry is sustainability. When we first collaborated I knew that she was the right designer for this project. As you can see, the Aphonic custom dresses are the result of unbelievable hands-on tailoring. The dresses are made out of recycled plastics, fishing string, hook leaders, and other items.

The idea was to show the beauty of the model without being too obvious with loose plastic and other trash. We wanted the plastics to be subtle, just like environmental concerns can sometimes be, while on a beautiful model and we achieved it.
