Designing for Marginalized Groups: The Costume Design for Emilia
How close are our inner and outer worlds? How whole are we? Who or what is locked inside our souls? Where is the line between the internal and external?
Through my exploration, I try to answer these questions, and many others, for myself. I express the resulting ideas in my work.
The theme of my research is the interactions between the inner and outer worlds of our personalities.
The human personality is a very complex mechanism, and its study makes it possible to better understand ourselves and our problems. Our outer world is obvious and visible to everyone else. Yet, each of us has our inner side or our soul, and it knows everything about us, but is often invisible to others. The broad theme of my work focuses on how different or similar the external and internal worlds are, and how all of this is combined in us. I want to show how they interact and what it would look like if we could see it. In an attempt to combine psychology and art in my research, I demonstrate our inner struggles, feelings, emotions, despair, hopes, conflicts, differences, and reconciliation with ourselves inside us.
