On Visual Tension (Material + Object)

Not everything needs to make sense. But it should make you look twice.

I’ve always been drawn to contradiction. Soft things that feel hard. Dangerous things wrapped in something delicate. It’s a way of disarming the viewer, or maybe myself.

Sometimes it’s material, sometimes it’s form—something meant to be worn, but clearly unwearable. These objects live in the in-between. And that’s the point.

Visual tension is what keeps me interested. It’s the pause. The discomfort. The refusal to explain. When things don’t sit neatly in their category—fashion, art, object, tool—they take on more charge. They ask more questions. And those are the only questions I want to spend time answering.
