MOLAGE

|   AMFI, THE NETHERLANDS

In this project, I have chosen my inspiration from a traditional craft called Mola. The Mola technique was invented and is still used by the Cuna people in Panama, San Blas. It's a reversed application technique made from many layers of fabric. Instead of building up a pattern by adding, a shape is created by taking material away. I used this as a design principle and drawn parallels to the human mind and the layers of consciousness we got.

Bland and geometrical lying flat. On the body the Mola "comes alive" revealing all the layers.
