SWALLOW LEVIATHAN
2022-2023
SWALLOW LEVIATHAN is the third capsule collection exploring the biblical myth of the Leviathan, the female sea monster dwelling in the watery abyss. She is the embodiment of chaos and threatens to eat the damned in the afterlife. The term “leviathan” is also used to refer to great whales. Look 1 represents the expulsion of guts, Look 2 presents the illusion of freedom, and Look 3 represents the transcendence of the human form through metamorphosis into a metal Leviathan.
