Can be made into a cape;
Weaving together the threads of women's fate through hand-cut chiffon belts, Sagene assumes the form of a symbolic navigator. Its net-like construction references traditional textile-making techniques, invoking the act of individuals merging to form a collective structure. The design brings to mind both a cartographic and a symbolic framework—tracing the entangled identities of women’s identities within dualistic archetypes, particularly the virgin-whore dichotomy. Of memorials built of thread, Sagene becomes a memorial built of thread: a textile map of tension, where each intersection signals both solidarity and restriction. It is at once a diagram and shroud, structure and story. Sagene invites the viewer to examine how form, material, and technique can express the inherited architectures of gendered storytelling, offering up a conversation-starter on gendered narratives in a simplified, wearable format.
