Solar Punk Beasts are not monsters, but gentle rebels of the future. They thrive on sunlight, grow in patterns, and wear their energy on their skin. Somewhere between nature and imagination, their surfaces shimmer, shift, and evolve—alive with texture, rhythm, and quiet power.

Inspired by this vision, Getting close on insects explores the hidden surface worlds of insects as a source of textile inspiration. By zooming in on patterns, textures, and structures rather than the insect as a whole, microscopic details are translated into textile expressions. Through material layering, research across analog and digital sources, and the creation of custom-made sequins, insect surfaces are adapted and reinterpreted rather than copied. The result is an experimental pattern collection that values intuition, material exploration, and process over predetermined outcomes.
