Growing Up Is For Adults



Collaboration project with fashion designer Stijn Cox.

GROWING UP IS FOR ADULTS is mocking adulthood, celebrating the now. The medical industry is a characterizing element of adulthood. Pills, COVID-tests, needles and other medical waste are a representation of the constant awareness of the future. An attempt to escape death. I contradict this notion with my fascination for childhood toys and action figures. Playing with an action figure is the purest form of living in the now. Kids show not to be limited by boundaries, judgements, laws and regulations, nor by what seems to be impossible in the adult mind. Kids embrace the now. This collection is a plea to take on a more playful view on life.
