Life is dark, eerie, mysterious, and uncertain. Nevertheless, it also holds beauty and light, spiking one's curiosity, just like bioluminescence in the unexplored depths of the ocean. Bioluminescence X Uncertainty is a collection inspired by street/swimwear silhouettes and haute couture-inspired techniques and fabric manipulation. The collection predominantly uses Double Lycra for the base garments and glow-in-the-dark 3D-printing PLA for embellishments and to mimic features of Bioluminescent creatures. I utilised this theme to step out of my comfort zone and to explore unique digital techniques, fabrics, and forms to observe what happens if I allowed uncertainty to take over the process
