01-This jacket, crafted from velvet and adorned with steel pins, is split down the middle. When the jacket is opened, the patterns on each side do not align perfectly with each other, creating a disjointed effect. This divergence symbolizes two distinct individuals or personalities that are interconnected yet remain fundamentally distinct.The design highlights the complexity of relationships and identity, illustrating how two separate entities can be intrinsically linked yet unable to fully reconcile their differences. The unaligned patterns emphasize the inherent disconnect despite the connection, reflecting the nuanced nature of personal and interpersonal dynamics.

02-Black jacket features a striking design with black velvet on the exterior and red silk on the interior. While it appears to be embroidered, it is actually crafted using steel and gold-plated pins. The pattern on the front of the jacket is deliberately misaligned, creating a visual disjunction that cannot be corrected.This design element underscores the theme of inherent imperfection and the challenge of achieving harmony. The contrast between the exterior and interior materials, along with the disjointed pattern, highlights the complexity and tension between appearance and reality.
