Aluminum Afterparty
Made from 2,879 recycled soda tabs, Aluminum Afterparty turns discarded material into a wearable sculpture. Inspired by chainmail, sequins, and 1920s flapper dresses, the piece changes as it moves—shifting between clothing, armor, and sculpture.

A study of material, form, and the body.
From a distance, the soda tabs create the shine and movement of sequins. Up close, the repeated metal shapes and handmade construction become more visible.
