The Kimono Artifacts project is a natural extension of my artistic practice — a space where painting meets clothing, and inner meaning takes on physical form. I see the kimono as a wearable canvas, a living surface that allows me to express personal or collective energies, symbols, and stories.

Although I have an academic background in fashion design, my true path is that of a visual artist. My primary medium is painting — layered, expressive, symbolic. Still, I often feel the urge to bring my inner images into forms that move, breathe, and exist in dialogue with the body. That’s where the kimono becomes more than just clothing — it becomes an artifact, a ritual object, a piece of living, wearable art.

I believe clothing can be a profound form of soul expression. Color, texture, lines, symbols — all become a language through which a person can be seen, felt, and remembered. Through the Kimono Artifacts, I create personalized garments that reflect the essence of the wearer — their strength, vulnerability, beauty, and depth.

This project is my way of bridging aesthetics, spirituality, and embodiment. A way to speak about identity, memory, and transformation through forms that are alive — and that move with us through the world.
