This collection draws inspiration from a series of eight animal paintings created by my mother over the last few years. She has been my earliest and biggest creative influence, shaping the way I see art, process, and storytelling. Translating her visual language into garment form was a deeply personal act, one that honors her imagination, her support, and the foundation she laid for my creative journey. This body of work stands as both a collaboration and a tribute, combining her artistic expression with my own design voice.
