The installation features two velvet jackets—one red and one black—that explore duality and the complexity of identity.
The black jacket initially appears to be intricately embroidered from the outside. However, upon opening it, viewers are confronted with a red silk interior and the sharp, gold-finished needles, which evoke the appearance of golden fur. This hidden layer contrasts sharply with the jacket’s exterior.
Conversely, the red jacket is adorned with gold fur on the outside, giving it a luxurious and embellished appearance. Yet, its interior is black and reveals a pattern that resembles embroidery. The sharpness of the needles inside adds a tactile dimension to this jacket.
Together, these two jackets represent different facets of self and personality. The juxtaposition of the outer and inner elements highlights the dual nature of identity and the interplay between surface appearance and underlying reality. The installation invites viewers to consider how these contrasting elements coexist, reflecting the complexity of personal and external selves.
