Artist Statement:

A morsel of air defined by lines and marked off. Every slight movement - of the wearer or the spectator - changes the stereoscopic situation. The austerity of the geometric form, universally valid and neutral, in contrast with the individual, organic physical body. It is neither interrupted nor restricted.

Air you can only feel gently…
