Inconsolable

The shirt-placket is located at centre-front of a shirt, the two sides of the placket overlap to hide underlying clothing or skin. I use this as a contradiction in this work; the surprizing function is not what is hidden inside but rather what is exposed. For this work I have chosen to apply the embroidery motifs onto the left side of the placket, located where the heart is, showing my love for my grandfather. It is also a symbol of my cultural background, which is close to my heart.
