Humans are used to think following a logical process. The process is always the same; we analyse the problem or question, offer solutions or answers and generate ideas on how to achieve them. After "a", comes "b". Sometimes, however, the best way to approach an issue is simply to look at it differently, from a different perspective or by changing the order of the factors. Breaking down possible solutions into parts and following them through new routes.

The exercise of disassembling to reassemble makes us reflect on the volatility of things. Nothing is permanent. Everything changes. Nothing is written. A reality can give rise to multiple realities depending on the way you look at it. This concept is somewhat reminiscent of what Edward De Bono defined as “lateral thinking”, which is the act of looking at things from atypical points of view, very similar to what happens to us with humour. The process of jumping from one idea to another is very similar: finding unexpected, different or hidden relationships between apparently unrelated elements.

This project explores the inverse sense of pattern making. It starts from an already created piece, such as the three shirts, and disassembles them to create a new one, with other fabrics, shapes and meanings. From three shirts, by placing them one on top of the other, they form a new piece, a dress.
