YOUR DEVICE
William Hector
The concept for this project stems from my inner concern for the state of our world. As the mounting evidence of climate change and social instability points towards a potential upheaval of human civilization, it becomes impossible to ignore the implications for future generations. Titled 'Concrete Fossils and Knitted Artifacts: The Legacy of What We Leave Behind,' my project employs knitwear as a lens to delve into the remnants of our society and how they might be interpreted by future civilizations. To bring this envisioned world to life, I have developed knitted fabrics using various techniques such as shima, hand-flat, and domestic machines, allowing me to create samples that invoke this "time to come". Moreover, I have embraced an intuitive approach to reinterpret knitwear and craft non-knitted knits, extending this mindset to the creation of silhouettes and garment shapes, imbuing them with an organic essence.
