Label Ganda

This piece of clothing is handmade. It’s my grandma’s. I didn’t get the chance to exchange clothes in the class.
Its a item we wear on our traditional kurdish clothing. The label describes the item first as a nice warm and comfy thing, later on it becomes clear that it is a very selfish thing and it wants to keep you from everything around you. It slowly takes over you. But it’s already to late. But still its a place where you can hide away.
Since it’s handmade I did not want it to look like a mass production when i first put the label on it it really killed the handmade part. So I made a small pocket inside of it where the label can be found . I hoped the label  could become more personal this way.

I n short, I wanted a waving surface in front of the face, in the shape of the line that goes from one ear, over the nose, to the other ear.      Mask 2. For this mask I asked people to write down what they were confident about in themselves. I used these ‘confidences’   in a short movie, creating (or un-creating) a mask. I came up with this because I liked the idea of the ego as a sort of mask and asked myself what would be left when we are stripped of our ego. Because our positive self-image - the things we are confident about - is closely related to our ego, I thought this would be a less abstract representation of it. As more        and more of the stickers are ripped off, more of the ego dissolves and more of the real person is revealed. If t...

the label I created for the shirt: How well does the garment perform when undergoing certain activities? what is its strenghts, and its liabilities? Or just more engagement between wearer and maker? So for the pictures, I thought it would be a nice/fun idea to do the activities as the label commands you to, and scored them afterwards(the ink from the pen is removable when washing).  I wanted to reflect the kind of playfulness in the pictures that you get when doing these fun activities, that's why the pictures are taken in similar settings or try to reflect the fun I had when making them.   the fit. the rules & the way its adapted to the garment  the scoreboard.  act 1: Dining. Score: 2/5 Reason: Good food, had to eat alone due to the current situation. the garment ate pretty decent, but not fancy enough when dining. ------------------------------------------------------------------...
