In my project "Shell," I have moved beyond traditional paper sketches to create direct body art using various materials. My inspiration draws from anatomical elements and inner organs, as well as physical symmetry. I also incorporate body-related objects like protective equipment, masks, and various appliances.

The pieces in "Shell" are crafted in two layers, featuring metal constructions paired with outer transparent garments. I have enlarged and deformed existing forms while also creating new shapes, focusing on weight, direction, and silhouette. The collection comprises four individual pieces, and by integrating light, I aim to enhance the three-dimensional experience and highlight the physical body.
