Fashion, Clothing and Textiles - New Landscapes for Change

"Where the Sun Rises Twice" bridges past and present, merging digital techniques with traditional handcrafts, Hungarian folklore, and upcycled textiles to create garments as time capsules of memory - offering quiet resistance to disposability and inviting reflective connection between wearer and world.

In what ways can a garment function as a wearable time capsule, preserving personal memories from the past and narratives for the future?

This collection is a revisiting - a return not only to a place, but to the emotional landscape of my childhood. It is an act of remembering, reconnecting, and dressing in the traces of time.
