This collection reimagines the serpent as a symbol of ambiguity, intimacy, and resilience. Through knit, silk, and biodegradable latex, the garments evoke tactile softness and serpentine tactility. Detachable, wrapping designs allow multiple ways of wearing, transforming the snake from a feared motif into a cultural lens. It becomes an intimate mediator between wearer and society, resisting singular narratives and opening space for multiplicity.
