Storyteller

The Storyteller carries the fragile weight of becoming. Born from a book about growing up, they embody the uncomfortable, beautiful process of transformation; the chapters we outgrow and the ones that stay etched beneath the skin.

Process:

The Storyteller was created using pages from a discarded book about growing up, found abandoned on the street. The pages were torn by hand and transformed into large panels, which were reinforced and engineered into a structured coat that moves like fabric. The mask and elongated shoes were also made from layered paper, sculpted into architectural forms.
