A Horrific Exploration of the Queer Sublime is a collection of garments exploring the materialization of the transcendent familiar. Avoiding the redundancy of beauty, the sublime is entangled through fleeting moments of astonishment and terror. Tantalizingly out of reach, the sublime breathes in the seam of creation and destruction. Textures are preserved and smeared, caught in forms that suspend within time.

Queerness is defined through otherness, caught in severe silhouettes and forms. Undefinable, the exposition of these queer objects encases junctures of transcendence through interaction. Lamination, sheerness, and arrangement are skewed around the body, in an attempt to inflict an authentic sublime echo.
