12th Collection - craft -

My five-year-old daughter loves to create.

Because she is still young, delicate work does not always go as she hopes. Frustration sometimes brings tears. Yet through repetition, she began to create within what she can do—folding, layering, pasting.

In that process, she learned to find her own way forward. Though small, she is doing her best in her own world, and enjoying it.

Inspired by her, I translated this into design: layered pleats, and buttons and pockets sewn on as if gently placed by hand.

So that small accumulations may one day take shape.

For those who live earnestly in their own worlds—this collection offers a quiet uplift.
