This digital space looks at human beings as a whole through different lenses, with clothes and textiles playing a central role. Its aim is to reflect the richness and complexity of humankind by combining fiction and non-fiction.

The fictional stories take the form of (auto)biographical fragments that focus on the individual while also resonating with the collective. The non-fiction texts offer critical reflections on themes that we share as a society.

Observation through clothing, particularly central to the ‘opinion’ category and the Garment Stories series, allows us to view humans as entities that define themselves through clothes, both independently and in relation to others, within a living environment.

Other works of fiction draw on different perspectives, such as that of the city. The City Stories series attempts to reconstruct an image of humankind by observing how people have shaped their environment in which to evolve.

Finally, in People Stories emotions, feelings, dreams and memories constitute a further prism through which to explore fictional texts, offering a way to approach humans through their most intimate and immaterial dimensions.
