My project, Transient Marine, investigates the delicate interplay between beauty and fragility in marine ecosystems through textile design. Centered on jellyfish and coral, it explores their aesthetics and structural characteristics—colors, textures, and transformations in response to environmental change. The core concept revolves around ocean conservation, focusing on the impact of pollution and climate change.

This project translates these themes into textile design, using fabric to evoke both wonder and urgency about ocean preservation. Technically, I explored honeycomb and overshot structures to replicate organic fluidity, while transparent yarns and thermochromic fibers mimic the creatures’ adaptive qualities. Sustainable materials like recycled polyester align the work with circular design principles.

Outcomes include woven textiles and textile-based installations—curtains, rugs, and wall hangings—targeting eco-conscious consumers and interior spaces. By prioritizing biodegradable materials and collaborating with conservation initiatives, the project embodies responsible design and urges the industry toward ecological stewardship.
