Keeping plants is healing, and in caring for them we develop an emotional link with them, and they deepen our sense of our own being. I want to observe people who keep plants in their homes and their behavioral patterns of caring for them, and combine this pattern of caring for plants with clothing and make slow processed garments that interact with wearers.
(combining garments with a potted plants, allowing the soil to color the garments during watering, and completing this coloring process when the potted plant blooms and fruits)
What contributes to the difference in dress code between farmers and urban plant lovers?
Is caring for plants pleasurable for most people? Would people want garments that take time to wear?
Is objects the most important indicator of providing comfort?

Objects are not the MOST important indicator of what provides us with comfort but it is one of the important indicators
Practical objects - things i use everyday/often
Collective objects - things i don’t really use, but they are still kept for certain reasons
Why is home the most comforting place?
Removable patchwork for these body parts? easy to clean

I've moved 7 times while growing up. Although the location, decoration and the people in my home have been changing, the concept of home remains the same, which represents a place where people feel relaxed and at ease. It builds our imagination of a safe space, and the safe atmosphere makes it possible for us to have a conversation with ourselves.
What do people wear at home?
What kind of clothes do they wear in an occasion where they don't need to think about what other people think at all?
Why do they dress that way?
And to combine that comfort, that serves one's functionality, with formal attire that brings comfort to places other than home. And study the objects/furniture in the home, how do they work as an extension of the body/clothing?
1. Don't have to think about what other people think
2. Less potential danger - be able to do whatever i want
3. Everything needed is get-able

I’ve been constantly moving and each move was a difficult goodbye for me. But moving almost annually also became a rite of passage for me to grow up, a process in which I looked at my past, as well as thinking about my future. Within the moving process, I started to crave for a simple life, with a small number of belongings, like a hermit crab. I would like to create garments that is object-oriented and wearing experience-oriented, also easy to move and store.
Garments that can be used as furniture? like curtains and bed sheets?
When garment itself becomes a storage tool?
How garments can serve people who need to move things and walk a lot?
