Drawing on text and motifs from “Peonies” by Mary Oliver, this sample collection explores the bittersweet, fleeting nature of beauty while championing sustainable processes. Peonies reinterprets natural imagery through artistic, unconventional embellishments while prioritizing slow fashion practices including natural dyeing, non-toxic screen printing, and embroidery. Semi-abstract, multilayered compositions evoke the amorphous quality of memory, suggesting that the beauty of nature lies in its transience.
