Collection Concept

Eroded Nostalgia is a collection inspired by the movement, color, and texture of rock eroded by water. Fun and playful silhouettes meet rigid textures to portray both the anger and ease of a flowing body of water to create the timelessness of rock erosions. Pain and play are the two main themes communicated in this collection. Not just as an expression of bodies of water and rock, but also as a college student reflecting on their past four years. This collection is meant to encapsulate the fun and heartbreak of growing up.
