Flo’s concept is a reaction against mass production in fashion. Calling out the clothing industry to deliver more sustainable and customisable options. Flo is asking for love and appreciation for the craft and artistry of making garments.
A time where time has never moved so rapidly
Once us humans were part of a balanced nature
Children of mother earth, now we have become her enemy
An enemy of something with indescribable beauty and power
Beauty and power we all carry with us
We are destroying what we are supposed to be helping
Nature will always survive and win
Why not cooperate?
A Kiss by Nature
A sculpture in the shape of a human that is being swallowed by mother nature. The ‘human’ is made out of a variety of waste & trash found in the streets of my neighborhood in Amsterdam. It was a shock how much diverse garbage I could collect with a small walk around the block when you are looking for it. With a couple rounds, I collected enough to create the entire human. The elements of nature are matwistingde out of different denim cuts and scrapes of a jean production. I created the roots and leaves to represent nature. The roots were created by while stitching, the leaves were frayed with use of a tumble dryer. The denim consists of recycled cotton and there is use of denim of discarded jeans.
Made with love, passion and urgency.
