Confrontation through wearability is achieved via the gesture of decoration. Her project appropriates and subverts signs of stigmatization employed during WWII, and through in-depth research it proposes new statement pieces that speak of resilience, emancipation, and self-determination of the social body. The debate remains unsettled.", }
