In a world that outruns itself, nature remains—silent and persistent.
The forest gently calls us back.
Tree, touch, breath.
We long for objects that breathe.
For fabrics that carry the trace of dew, wind, light, earth.
The group exhibition of second-year textile and fashion design students, Forest Breathing, is a space where textile grows, breathes, and tells stories—through hands, through fibers, through us. From a tangible, tactile, slow process, textile objects, video narratives, and spatial installations embodying the forest have emerged.
