Why do I feel like an outsider living in such a culturally accepting foreign country? I sometimes can be in a crowded room, filled with laughter, and all the craic in the world — and yet feel so homesick, and alone. To overcome this daunting thought, I started looking into the practices of yoga and meditation. Taking a break from all the chaos the world has to offer, and meditating has immensely helped me in clearing my mind, and relaxing my body. The ultimate purpose of yoga and meditation is to get oneself to slow down and be calmer, and notice that we can appreciate life better when we take the time to do so. This collection explores the arts of yoga and meditation, and its significance within Hindu mythology. Exploring the notions of the Sri Yantra and Mandala as symbolic representations of unmanifest power of the universe. The creative process of making mandalas helps to revisit the universal experience embodied in the circle and also to reflect on the essence of who we are in the here and now. The project explores sacred geometry and its applications in creating mandalas, and the study of cymatics to produce creative outcomes. This collection is a digital fashion collection, empowering wearers to be whoever they wish to be, to experiment with their styles in the metaverse. It also aims to cut down on production and sampling wastes by first creating in a digital space and later replicating it as a physical twin.
