Topic 1. The Handprint as a Principle for Shaping Surfaces in 20th–21st Century Art and Costume Design
Fingerprint as a principle of surface formation—this is a method of creating relief and texture on an object by transferring the human handprint onto the material.
This research will form the basis for developing a brand collection targeted at an audience interested in experimental clothing featuring textured surfaces, shape-forming elements, or prints that imitate a handprint.

Topic 2. Wax Sculpture as a Source for Plastic Solutions in the Volumetric Shaping of 20th–21st Century Objects
Wax sculpture as a source of plastic solutions involves using the fluidity, accretion, folds, and deformations of wax to create relief volumes and silhouettes. This research will form the basis for developing a brand collection designed for an audience interested in sculptural clothing featuring hyper-voluminous shapes, asymmetrical silhouettes, and forms reminiscent of solidified wax.
