Overturned 

 

During the 2 month design process, my research was focusing on the method of determining the space with the physical material, which is a soft-bonded  knitted structure. The different position where the given shape understands its position. In the form experiments I searched, simplified and recorded the dynamic  details. Focusing the negative space, concave and convex deflections, precise turns, and material congestion delimited by the bound tape. The soft but accurate curves, the sudden change of direction of the material, the discovery of exaggerated waviness, the movements and gestures recorded for the moment, brought me to the sport. Sport-related dynamics, tension, and energy appear in color choices, generating a new relationship system with elegant, streamlined shapes. The sock twisted around itself moves, turning from the inside of the shoe to the outside. The knitted  fabric that is organically attached to the open shoe runs up to the foot, twists as a strap, and secures the foot. The protruding straps contribute to the overall experimental shape.
