Project1 -- Animals
The first project focuses on the relationship between animals and humans.
People often treat pets as sources of emotional companionship, aesthetic projection, and even functional value. When humans begin to artificially modify the appearance or traits of pets, animals are placed in a position of being watched, designed, and controlled. This project asks a reversed question: if we no longer think from a human-centered perspective, and if the animal is no longer the object being transformed but instead becomes the subject that transforms human perception and bodily experience, how would humans feel? When agency is reversed, can humans still assume the right to define other lives as they always have?

Silhouettes & Details
Purebred pets are often bred through inbreeding in order to preserve so-called “desirable” genetic traits. However, this process also leaves many animals with inherited diseases and congenital physical problems. This project takes that condition as a point of departure, researching the genetic disorders caused by selective inbreeding and attempting to transfer those forms of discomfort into human bodily experience.
At the beginning of the project, I conducted a behavioural experiment by projecting and visually overlaying the forms of the human body and pet bodies, comparing their differences in proportion, posture, and structure. Building on this, I further developed the experiment to allow the human body to experience the inconvenience and restriction of a modified body. Through this process, the physical burdens originally imposed on animals through artificial intervention were translated into a human sensory experience, eventually developing into distorted lines, constrained structures, and deformed silhouettes within the project.
In the development stage, I researched specific joint structures and related disorders in both animals and humans. By comparing their anatomical similarities, differences, and movement limitations, I translated these findings into a fashion language. This process allowed human and animal bodily characteristics to merge within the garment, particularly in the design of the joint areas, where structure, restriction, and motion became central design elements.
Fabric & Printing
For the fabric and print design, I drew from the condition of purebred Pomeranians affected by Black Skin Disease, a genetic disorder that causes progressive hair loss and leaves the skin exposed without the protective function of the coat. As the skin shifts from a flesh-pink tone to black, the body appears increasingly vulnerable and uncomfortable. In response, I used an elastic knitted fabric to develop a distorted print surface. As the material stretches with the body, the print shifts and deforms, reinforcing the project’s exploration of bodily restriction, exposure, and distortion.Final Shoot
