Unfading Traces explores what happens when architecture leaves the city and enters the space of the body. Inspired by Kaunas interwar modernism and the dynamics of light and shadow, the collection transforms architectural principles—volume, proportion, structure and space—into methods of pattern cutting, draping and construction. Rather than decorating the body with architectural references, I use the body as a structural foundation around which sculptural forms are built. Light and shadow become constructive elements, shaping volume alongside material and movement. The collection ultimately asks: can a garment create space around the body in the way architecture creates space around us?
