In an attention economy where fashion consumption occurs in 1.3-second intervals, this collection operates through deliberate deceleration. Working with deconstructed thrift finds and personal archive pieces, each garment emerges from extended material engagement - a practice that directly counters the algorithmic curation defining contemporary fashion consumption.

The process prioritizes tactile decision-making over digital recommendation systems. While online platforms optimize for instant gratification and endless scrolling, this bricolage approach demands sustained focus on material relationships, texture combinations, and constructional possibilities that reveal themselves only through physical manipulation.

Through layering techniques and fabric reconstructions, familiar silhouettes are transformed into temporal artifacts - garments that carry the time invested in their making rather than the speed of their acquisition. The resulting pieces embody this temporal approach through multifunctional design - a denim maxi skirt functions as jacket, knot details serve both decorative and structural purposes - reflecting the extended consideration invested in each garment's possibilities.

This work questions whether fashion can resist the acceleration of digital culture through the radical act of slowing down - turning the 1.3-second attention span into minutes, hours, and days of material consideration.
