About the Artwork

'Labelization' is a collection that transforms invisible social labels into wearable pieces, revealing how individuals are constantly categorised and assigned value in daily life. In increasingly fast-paced urban environments, tension, judgement and external gazes shape how we move, behave and relate to one another. These pieces draw attention to the often-absurd reality that anyone can become marginalised depending on shifting perspectives, social biases or stereotypes.
