Eco-printing is a technique where plants, leaves and flowers leave their shapes, color, and marks on fabric. Plant material bundled inside of cloth is steamed or boiled to release the dye found naturally inside the plant, creating a contact print in the shape of the leaf or flower used.
In this project, I have machine stitched a shirt and mask which is machine embroidered on both sides and is bundle dyed using food waste and plant leaves. The project is named "Vikaram", meaning emotions in Malayalam.
