This project began with discarded 100% cotton fabric, primarily muslin scraps, which I transformed into handmade paper through a traditional pulping and sheet-pulling process.

While the sheets were still wet and pliable, I manipulated and pieced them together directly onto three dress forms, allowing the material to behave somewhere between textile and structure.

The resulting torso forms explore the tension between softness and construction, examining how the female body is shaped not only physically, but socially and psychologically.

Each form experiments with silhouette and surface, questioning how femininity is perceived by others and reconstructed by oneself.
