‘Duality of Durability’ builds a circular structure—what’s withheld feels more present than what’s shown. Gestures repeat like rituals, fragments of memory pressing toward the surface. This is not about clarity. It’s about the tension between concealment and confession. Casting and styling are not choices, but signals—encoded, deliberate. They trace a shared instinct to protect and reveal in the same breath. These looks are direct. Not neutral. They suggest an agreement between the seen and the silent. In a culture addicted to showing, the work shifts the lens: observation becomes confrontation.

Their approach to biomaterials challenges the need for permanence, embracing decay, transformation, and responsiveness. In this shifting landscape, design is no longer about control but about adaptation, anticipation, and understanding that the most radical innovations lie in how we think, not just in what we make.
