"RAW" By Kai M Huntoon

Garment Designs By Kai M Huntoon

"RAW”, a compelling exploration of the demise of purity, providing a visual narrative that delves into the decay of our beings under the pervasive influence of our surroundings. This concept unveils the profound impact of our environment on physical health, drawing parallels between the visible degradation of our bodies and the subtle corrosion of our minds and morals. As a conceptual exploration, RAW confronts the viewer with the stark reality that a continuous exposure to corrupt thoughts can lead to the disintegration of our very essence.

 

The concept manifests through a poignant portrayal of human features—hair, eyes, skin, and teeth—as symbolic representations of purity’s gradual demise. Human hair, once vibrant and connected to the scalp, serves as a poignant metaphor. Removed from its source, it undergoes a transformative journey, losing color and vitality over time until it ultimately decays into dust.

 

Through a fusion of artistic mediums, RAW aims to convey the unsettling beauty in the disassembly of these once pristine elements. The visual language employed in this concept will evoke a sense of raw vulnerability, encouraging viewers to contemplate the consequences of their environmental choices on both a personal and collective level.

 

In essence, RAW is a visual commentary on the profound interplay between our surroundings and the decay of our minds, morals, and physical health. By bringing attention to the inevitable unraveling of purity, this concept challenges us to reconsider the impact of our choices and surroundings on the essence of our being.
