In my masterwork, I juxtapose white figures and key events from Hungarian folklore with the stages of a fictional woman’s life journey. The knitted garments in the collection reflect the rites marking the turning points of a woman’s life – from birth to death. My aim was to create a visual narrative in which the cyclical transformation of female identity becomes visible at the intersection of tradition and contemporary simplicity of form. Here, the white figure becomes a carrier of transformation embodied through ritual and preserved in collective memory.
