When we are born, our vision is still limited and blurred, and in the first months of life we can only focus on objects 20-30 cm away. The first space we learn to know is therefore not that of the house or the room, but that which we can touch and understand with our body. Wrapped in cloth as newborns, clothes are the first space we learn to inhabit.

Getting dressed becomes a daily act of definition: we draw the boundary between our body and the outside world, building the space our body and emotions needs.

When we feel fragile, when the outside world seems too vast or hostile, we unconsciously immerse ourselves in clothes, to build a refuge. Clothing once again becomes a necessary boundary, a safe space where we can retreat.

“The Space We Wear” grows from this understanding: that caring for ourselves begins with the space we create for ourselves.

Everything begins with my body, with its measurements, its needs, and an attentive observation of how it moves within clothing.

This project is both an exploration and a narrative of myself, translated into a tangible object.

It consists of a garment composed of multiple modules that can be assembled according to my emotions, to what my body asks for in that moment.

The main body measures 1.5m x 1.5m, just like my height, creating a space that is intimately scaled to me.

The heart of this project lies not only in the finished product but in the very act of constructing it as an act of self-care.
