This work is titled as Thank you, and it is a part of Weight of Fabric constellation which was on display at Galleria Rajatila (Tampere) in September 2023. The conctellation deals with the sustainability of fashion through the personal point of view. The work acknowledges some of the enablers of clothes. Though, the gratitude evokes sympathy, expressing gratitude seems to be insufficient towards the environmental and social impacts of consuming clothes.
