Construction - Deconstruction

The trigger for the collection came to me in my daily life In my friend's music studio hang photographs that piqued my interest, all from the same series by Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson The subjects are abandoned buildings, half-down demolished houses and construction sites. There is also a lot of graffiti in the pictures that I ended up taking inspiration from. From this trigger, I decided to use work clothes as the subject of the collection. I looked at the history of work clothes and took inspiration from here and there, for example from the dock work clothes and coal mining work clothes. I still had as a goal from the beginning that the mood of the collection was mostly inspired by the house ruins I was fascinated by.

The kick for my collection came to me in my every day life. Photographs that hang on the wall in my friend's music studio finished my interest, all from the same series by Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson. They depict abandoned buildings, half torn down houses and construction sites. There is also a lot of graffiti in the pictures that I ended up taking inspiration from. After choosing this inspiration I decided to make my collection out of work from my workwear and took the collection from the most difficult and said.
