“We judge based on who we are and not who the people truly is.”

Everyone have a story to tell, they do, we all do. It amounts to whether one is ever brave enough to speak of it, the pain or the sorrow, the joy or the excitement. It boils down to this very judgemental society of what should be worthy enough to be spoken.

This dress is made with lace to show the delicate being of humans, seemingly so transparent in thought but actually much more than what is seen by the eyes. The dress is fixed with a sound sensor where the LEDs on the flowers surrounding the dress will light up when sounds are detected.

I was inspired by the stories that every human holds, blooming in gorgeous thoughts, exciting in wonderful nature but held within because we are all too afraid to speak. The the delicacy of the human heart that is so fragile.
