Drawing on personal stories and experiences, VOYAGERS: TALES FROM THE LAND AND SEA presents my observations of the world from the standpoint of a third culture kid. I merge graphic design, fashion, and writing to examine fragments of cultural heritage, familial relationships, the environment, and our existence. My story uncovers the world of the in-between. Inspired by my father’s ambition to sail the world, the collection features assemblages of headwear, bags, and uniforms used in exploring uncharted worlds. VOYAGERS dives headfirst into the unknown and unravels the mysteries that lie beyond the horizon. This collection serves as an expression of gratitude to those embarking on this adventure. Pushed and pulled between the worlds of reality and abstraction, the voyager seeks potential, purpose, home, and wonder in the everyday.
