Design Description
Inspired by 19th-century fashion and the devastating impact of whaling, ‘Mermurder’ highlights the exploitation of whales and ocean pollution. The corset, made from 1kg of leather scraps, reflects the industry that drove whale hunting to its peak, while the red and blue fabrics symbolise the bloodshed and vast ocean waters. The fin-shaped sleeves and handmade plastic jewellery mirror marine life and the 200 pieces of plastic whales can ingest daily. Every element was hand-sewn without adhesives.
Materials Used: Leather, Plastic & Aluminum
SDG: 6, 12 & 14
