Collection Description: This collection tells the story of King Midas, a man driven by greed who was granted the power to turn everything he touched to gold. He quickly realized that his powers did more harm than good as he unintentionally destroyed everything that made life enjoyable. Midas Touch takes inspiration from King Midas’ progression from satisfaction to despair; evolving from flowing silhouettes to confining structures while mimicking the natural structure of gold. This collection strives to confront the greed that clouds our judgment and highlight the materialism that haunts our lives.
