“Ephemeral Markings”

"Ephemeral Markings" documents the fragile evidence of human presence within natural systems - where temporary disturbances in grass, displaced stones and compressed earth become subtle monuments to transience. 

Drawing from Richard Long's radical practice in A Line Made by Walking, the collection constructs wearable archives of disappearance: garments that materialize the tension between presence and erasure, between the made and the unmade.

"Ephemeral Markings" materializes Richard Long's transient interventions in nature through garments that perform their own disappearance. Curved seams & vanishing pattern panels trace bodily movement like fading footpaths, while ergonomic cuts map erosion patterns. Irregular silhouettes emulate stacked and scattered stone formations, and laser engravings mimic weathering strata - Each element alludes to the organic ephemerality of Long’s work.

"All paths dissolve into ephemeral stillness—where simplicity lingers, permanence fades, and strength remains, quiet as stones waiting for rain.”
