Fading Threads is a small installation about memory, loss, and sustainability. It was created during a course focused on textile reuse. While most eco-campaigns rely on data or moral arguments, I wanted to explore a different approach, one that communicates through the senses.
The project began with a philosophical question: When something is forgotten, does it still exist? Inspired by the idea of a “clothing funeral,” I created a space where worn garments could “speak” their own stories. Using AI-generated farewell letters, fabrics, and lighting, I built a quiet atmosphere for personal reflection. Instead of instructing people to recycle, the work invites empathy, encouraging us to see old clothes not as waste, but as companions filled with memory and presence.
