Holland, NY, where wooded hills harbor makeshift hunting blinds and remnants of forgotten structures, creativity here is its own fortress. Drawing from the rugged landscapes of my hometown, I revisited memories of the epic legends and battles I would dream up as a kid, only to find that tender nostalgia stained with an eerie understanding of how complicated the world was beyond the perimeter of my ramshackle kingdom. The protected freedom found within these secluded spaces is embodied through an emphasis on intuitive pattern cutting and enveloping materials. Each garment becomes a sanctuary, empowering the wearer to envision and manifest their dreams amidst adversity. Embraced in the armor of restrained creativity, she emerges, her attire a bastion of strength and resilience.

Built in the 1st century, the tower is located on a peninsula about 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of A Coruña, Galicia, in northwestern Spain. Until the 20th century, it was known as the Farum Brigantium.[2] The Latin word farum is derived from the Greek Φάρος, Pharos, for the Lighthouse of Alexandria. The structure stands 55 metres (180 ft) tall and overlooks the North Atlantic coast of Spain.
