Inspired by the film's visual language and emotional restraint, this portrait captures an ageing man confronting solitude and the passage of time. Through his attempt to connect with the world around him, he experiences moments of renewed youth and colour — a quiet exploration of isolation, perception, and human vulnerability.

An aged woman grapples with the fear of ageing and loneliness. Over time, she develops a subtle obsession with reclaiming youth through appearance - dressing herself in girlish, colourful, and playful elements to relive a sense of innocence. Inspired by the braid hairstyles of young girls in the 1960s, this earring design reinterprets the gesture of a braid through metalwork. The intertwined form, accentuated with bowknots, evokes a nostalgic, childlike charm that contrasts with the passage of time.

Bag
Playful yet structured, this bag takes inspiration from the charming chaos of school mornings - when children clutch their uneven stacks of textbooks, brimming with curiosity and imagination. The design reinterprets that nostalgic moment through a layered construction: a front clutch shaped like a hardcover book, adorned with a braided print and a glossy 3D bow, paired with a soft pouch that peeks out from behind like a second volume in motion.

A playful ode to girlhood dreams, this design reimagines the childhood ritual of slipping into a mother's oversized heels. The silhouette fuses a glossy inner boot with an exaggerated pump outer layer, capturing that charming imbalance between innocence and aspiration. A scalloped floral trim softens the bold construction with a hint of whimsy, while the braided metallic heel grounds the fantasy in modern sophistication. It's a celebration of transformation - from make-believe elegance to the confidence of womanhood.
