The straps cut from preowned clothes is a symbol of colonisation in which plastics taking over the natural habitat. The scraps may seem small and harmless, however, it is one of the biggest sources that caused an imbalanced eco-system.

The technique is applied to new/old garments to create new curves, extra colours, and organic silhouettes; as well as the bulky/stiff textures resulted from the compact layers of straps.
