My overall theme is inspired by a type of YouTube video called ‘Movies that Made Me’ where an actor looks back through their favourite roles. I chose to look back on my favourite movies that have inspired me over the years. In addition to this, I wanted to make sustainability a big part of my work, so I chose to source and print only onto second-hand garments, in particular unwanted football shirts that are a big problem with overproduction and overconsumption. My vision is to use print to refresh and bring new life to an unloved item of clothing, transforming unloved football shirts into something people will want to wear again.
