Inspired by the relationship between an Icelandic woman and a U.S. soldier, the garments reflect themes of deconstruction and repair. Military‑inspired pieces unravel and are reassembled through delicate knitwear techniques, echoing the emotional process of mending what remains when love becomes a memory.
