The Piece:

Autonomy

Serina’s work is set in a world of garment autonomy, where garments guide their creation, inspired by principles of Web3 and blockchain technology. Her method begins with deconstructing traditional suits, recording their original patterns and reconstructing them along original seam lines.

The garments, adorned with embroidery, hand-paintings, and recycled crystals, merge traditional craftsmanship with an innovative approach to ethical fashion.
