Letters from Home to Home
This piece is called Letters from Home to Home. The garment is made from 100% dissolvable fabric and Indian embroidery. As I looked deeper into my ancestral family farm, it felt like a letter from a place that used to be my home to what is my home now.
I remember visiting the farm often as a child, though my memories are hazy. What I do remember clearly is how deeply it embodied my family’s soul. I hope I’ve done justice to their heart and spirit through this collection.
Our farm was more than just land. When my great-grandfather passed away, his ashes were spread at his favourite spot on the farm. Peacocks would often gather there, dancing around the memorial without prompting—something that felt far too meaningful to be a coincidence.
For this piece, I wanted to create a traditional Indian lehenga using dissolvable fabric and intricate Indian embroidery. If you look closely, you’ll notice the embroidered fabric is stitched in a heartbeat mesh pattern. This detail, layered on the dissolvable base, represents the generations—fragile, interconnected, and beautifully impermanent.
