Hiding in Plain Sight is a Ready-to-Wear collection inspired by my daily escape from reality's stresses. What appears hidden on the surface reflects my self-imposed limitations. This escape doesn't solve problems; it traps me like an invisible cage. While the design suggests protection and invisibility, entering the so-called 'safe house' reveals it as a cage. This symbolizes escapism and self-awakening: only by confronting our challenges can we break free from limitations and achieve true liberation.
