A jungle so colorful and full of visual stimuli as insidious and impenetrable. I imagined the perception that one would have if you lost inside it and suffered the bite of one of the many poisonous animals that populate it. The effect of the poison could cause a distorted view of what is around, creating optical effects, doubles hypnotic geometries and psychedelic colors. The result is a parallel jungle, populated by interweaving of electric colors, surreal animals and chaotic geometries.
Work in progress
Kaleidotropic
The foulard
The inhabitants of the jungle create an optical game, a kaleidoscopic geometry made of crossings, reflections and fusions. The bright, electric colors and textures of animal skins create a psychedelic harmony in which the eye tends to get lost and not to recognize details. A distorted and surreal view of an amazing world, the jungle.
Mimetic Jungle
All over for fashion
All living beings, by instinct, find ways to hide from others. Starting from the mimicry exerted by some tropical animals, and how even the same human has created a pattern, the camouflage, designed to blend in with nature, this design wants to combine these two aspects. The typical spots of camouflage are here reinterpreted as textures of animals and, in turn, hide snakes and pungent bushes.
