Wrapped Human Body



Flow

The cool blue fabric wraps and twists around the body, abstracting the form. The figure underneath bends and stretches into unique poses, which, when paired with the draping cloth, distorts the form of the human body into an unrecognizable shape.

The sheerness of the fabric also allows for the light to flicker through, adding even more layers and intricacies to show through.

Heat is a swelling, bubbling tune. Light pressure is flurry of sounds.
