'Fragments of Future Hope' Senior Thesis Garment

While battling an extremely debilitating and terrifying muscle disease, I dreamt of a healthier version of myself coming to comfort me—a version of myself I thought was forever left in the past. Little did I know, I was looking at myself from the future, from today. My senior thesis collection encapsulates the hopefulness and creativity, at times dwindling yet still present, I would turn to during this very dark time, and the beautiful full circle moment I didn’t realize was waiting for me.
