On the threshold that crosses Fashion and art, but also embraces science, Ivan Hunga Garcia develops a 'ready-to-seed' approach in which each piece is created from molds that are composed and then sown, respecting their seasonality and ephemerality.
The concept is based on an experimental concept that is a reflection of the four seasons and their botanical properties.
“A collection of seven typical characters represents the new generation of the Neohominidae community, promoting the design and anthropological reassessment of their daily rituals.
The plot spreads in homage to predecessors and historical heritage within codes and visual studies”, says Ivan Hunga Garcia about the collection.
Seasonal limits are explored as drivers of creativity that expands as it gains contours defined by time and space and thus transforms ephemeral objects into works of art that go beyond their materiality in the form of memories.
