TRANS_IT_The Show
TRANS_IT.
Transparent it feels. Visible it is. To us? To others. We can feel it the moment we are conscious or transcend ourselves.
We feel how we transform. We are not transparent. We are in a constant trans_it.
It feels vibrant, vivid and at times it intimidates as we don't know where our path lies.
We are seeking and yet we don't comprehend, it is the moment we're living that is deciding the road, tough rough, shaken through quakes, ours as well as ones from others who are part of our road, we are part of theirs. We find marvellous blooming and blossoming plants and a fresh breeze passes, just before we are hit by a harsh rain and falling ice. The ice will melt. Just before a moment of purity and clarity.
Life. In transition. In constant transformation. Transparent but not invisible.

TRANS_IT. The Collection.
The new collection is a journey, a reflection of my surrounding. The colours, sounds and the dynamic of my environment in Addis Ababa, Berlin and Yaounde.
A world full of extremes and diverstiy. Untouched, yet not saturated. Full of opportunities. Building ideas into reality through collaborations. These aspects are my fuel and my challenge. An endless creativ flow of ideas, with a goal to collaborate creatively.
TRANS_IT is my expression, a challenge I gave myself, a new beginning but also a reflection.
As a designer, how can I capture what surrounds me, how can I reflect and express, not only the visible?
As humans we tend to hold on to the past and let it at times be more present than the present itself. What happens if we let go? Still it will remain present, as everything we have experienced is part of us, part of who we became - as individuals as well as society. It shouldn't intimidate, but re-instruct and edify us.
So what happens if we let go? Space for something new appears.
Letting people being part of us, our journey and, when we create space for the yet unknown - an explosion of colours might surround us and elevate us in a new space.
Existence in it's purist form. A lifetime transformation.
Trans_it. Transit - Transform - Transparent - Transcend - an everlasting transfer.
In Transformation. A process.
