- Wearable SpaceWearable Space is a performative space that creates a wearable field of light and sound that visualizes our responsibility for maintaining a sustainable system. The idea rose through various explorations and projects around the environmental impact of the fast fashion industry. The installation uses only 1.5L of water to create an environment, where each one cotton t-shirt uses up more than 1500L to manufacture. This installation uses sound waves to modulate the water within the lanterns to cre
