_ I . C . U .
see you - I see - see me - you seeI C U is an exploration of emotional
expression. Questioning the culturally determined conventions, limitations, and
boundaries around our emotions. Reconsidering common ideas that expressing certain
emotions is inappropriate, inconvenient, and unnecessary.
By giving emotions a physical platform, they become visibly present, unavoidable but also accessible.
Through a collection of garments Liv explored how we can express ourselves through the things we wear, both communicating with the outside world, and within ourselves.
I C U provides a space for fragility, vulnerability, and acceptance.
Don’t look away.
*I.C.U. is a continuation of ‘Blood. Sweat. Tears.’*
