The hand-pieces imitate bodies of parasites, which when worn, turn your fingers into their limbs. They can be put on like gloves or hand puppets. They are made out of skin coloured textiles with foam filling and incorporate into your hand or fingers. By their colours, materials and structures, they merge with the rest of the body.

The porcelain pieces are inspired by parasites which get under your skin. The series consists of four different sized segmented porcelain bodies, inspired by maggots, which can be tied to different parts of your body by a silver cord. The silver cord twines into the folds of your skin and fat and repeats the structure of the parasite on your body (“…wie die Made im Speck”, German saying). After removing them, they leave imprints on your skin.

Many parasites suck the blood of their hosts. The single “suckers” attach themselves to the body by means of a vacuum. The skin under the glass cup gets sucked in and forms a little bump, which turns red after a while. The necklace consists of ten small cups with pumps, which are connected by a thin silk cord. They can be attached individually anywhere on the skin, and shape the necklace this way.The pumps don’t hurt the body, but they leave marks when wearing them for a longer time. These marks form a temporary, decorative legacy of the parasite.

This project consists of series of bags for people who feel threatened in our society. The bag is something carried/worn close to the body and is an extension of ones private space, which plays the biggest role in relation to social phobias.

These bags are a sort defensive weapon, not visible as such in the first place, but which can be applied when feeling threatened. They work as a peaceful defense, without physical violence, but by enhancing or stabilizing ones private space.

The skirt is constructed out of pockets and can camouflage you as a tree when lifted over the head. The pockets form the leaves of the crown and your feet symbolize the trunk. The skirt also forms a space around your upper body, shielding you from the outer world.

The soft wardrobe is supported and shaped by the strength and volume of the things put inside.
Its walls are not hard and supporting, but  soft like the clothes and flexible. They react in a certain way to the content and the way you fill the wardrobe. Like this it changes its character according to the filling and becomes more alive.
If we would break these grids of staightness  and organization a tiny bit, everything would look more organic, wild and alive, outsideness would be brought to the inside.
