This piece, a poetic and conceptual understanding of nakedness was inspired by the body. Through experimentation I played with clean and simple elastics that kept a shirt in a tight scrunched state, exposing the midriff. On wearing your phone and keys the shirt is pulled down to cover the body. Every time the keys or phone are taken out to be used, the shirt skews in one direction or another leaving the wearer with a sense of imbalance. This was a purely mechanical solution to this notion of feeling awkward without your devices.
