Can Hiding Yourself Truly Protect You? looks at the quiet distance a person creates — not just from the world, but from themselves. It traces the tender space between self-protection and self-erasure, exploring what it means to turn away from pain in the name of safety.

This collection speaks of vulnerability in moments of distance — of knowing yourself, yet closing your eyes to the parts that ache too much to see. It is about the instinct to curl inward, to hold your knees close and make yourself small enough to feel safe again.

There is repetition in the silhouettes and detailing — a rhythm that mirrors the comfort of familiar gestures, the way routine can become a soft shield. The garments carry marks, textures, and impressions, echoing how clothes — like memories — leave traces on the skin. These marks are not concealed; they are acknowledged as stories, as proof of endurance, and of being touched by life.

Through quiet surfaces and deliberate craft, the collection asks whether hiding truly protects — or whether vulnerability itself can be the act of survival.
