ME; MI GRAINE & MY ROOM OF PAIN

From pain to fabric

The textile designer Laura Dieckwisch presents her graduation project from University of Applied Sciences Hamburg. Her fabric collection explores the theme of migraine, a prevalent neurological disorder causing severe pain, by utilizing design as a medium for discussion. Laura Dieckwisch incorporates her own chronic migraine into an intuitive design process by allowing the pain to have a significant impact on the design. As a result the fabric transcends its traditional role, metamorphosing into an object, a space, and a companion. Throughout her work the designer intricately weaves the tensions between touching and being touched. Her aspiration is to conceive textiles that kindle a desire for physical contact and emotional closeness. Her fabrics strive not only to be visually captivating but also to offer a singularly tactile and sensory experience. Emphasizing durability, these meticulously crafted fabrics are intended to be enduring companions, accompanying their owners throughout the passage of lifetime.
