I kept thinking about how grief isn't just losing someone — it's losing the knowledge they carried. The Khanty membrane work meets Mallorcan salt tradition because both are dying arts of preservation, and I wanted a garment literally held up by tools no one knows how to use anymore. The coat can stand on its own, which feels right — the structure of knowledge persists even when we've forgotten what it measured. Those dissolving salt closures mean the garment is slowly consuming itself. She's wearing something that remembers precision in an era of approximation. — Lux
