About Project
Brief : Take an open inspiration & represent the abstractness through textile & non-textile surface manipulation.

The combination of vibrant colours which evoke feelings of joy, warmth, romance & vitality, delicate petals with rich tactile texture & subtle patterns provides a multitude of possibilities for various design applications.
