A monumental performance sculpture and wearable architecture that masterfully translates traditional textile methodologies into heavy industrial mediums. By hand-weaving and riveting unyielding steel straps around the contours of the human body, the work constructs a complex psychological space of armor, containment, and somatic tension. The meticulous, rigid weave gives way to an explosive, chaotic eruption of metal tendrils around the head and extremities—resembling a metallic root system or an externalized surge of psychological force. Warp and Weft exists as a radical interrogation of bodily boundary, balancing the extreme physical weight of raw steel against the vulnerable, fluid silhouette of the human form.
