Elegy — Spring 2021
An elegy is a poem of deep, somber reflection, traditionally lamenting the death of a loved one. The purpose of this collection is to visually represent an elegy that honors the life and death of a relationship.
Each garment represents a different stage in the relationship, illustrating its gradual decline. Beginning with flowing, unconfined silhouettes, the garments become more rigid and transparent over time. This signifies how the relationship progressed from something pure, simple, and beautiful into something more difficult and constricted.
The elegy seeks to highlight each one of these stages as it grieves the loss of love.
