This collection shows one woman\u2019s advancement towards liberty of self-expression irrespective of societal dictates. At the beginning of the journey, society\u2019s expectations are conveyed in a rigidity of form and shape that obscures the model\u2019s natural form. Each subsequent outfit incorporates an advancement towards lighter, softer colors and fabric, which celebrates the model\u2019s natural beauty. The final outfit represents her liberated joy of self-expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Art2Wear | Advance\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pZ2pbGyoPVU?start=986&#038;feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"najeel\">Interwoven by Najeel Range<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"ncst-fancy-paragraph-fifty ncst-fancy-paragraph is-text wp-block-ncst-fancy-paragraph\">\n              <p class=\"fancy-paragraph__text fancy-paragraph-left\">\n          My collection relates to the theme \u201cAdvance\u201d through bringing awareness to plastic waste and racial injustice.

The purpose of this collection is to visually represent an elegy that honors the life and death of a relationship. Each garment represents a different stage in the relationship, illustrating its gradual decline. Beginning with flowing, unconfined silhouettes, the garments become more rigid and transparent over time. \n        <\/p>\n      \n      \n<div class=\"ncst-accompaniment wp-block-ncst-fp-accompaniment\">\n    \n<aside class=\"floated-spotlight-aside-container\">\n  <div class=\"floated-spotlight-contents\">\n    <div class=\"ncst-content-card wp-block-ncst-fp-spotlight-card has-custombg-seven-background-color with-image with-cta\">\n  \n\n          <div class=\"content-card__image-container\">\n        <div class=\"content-card__image-background\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"\n            class=\"content-card__image wp-image-2084\"\n            alt=\"Lydia Farro\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/lydia-farro-web.jpg\"\n            style=\"aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; object-position: 47% 23%\"\n srcset=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/lydia-farro-web.jpg 400w, https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/lydia-farro-web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/lydia-farro-web-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"content-card__text-container\">\n      \n                        <h3 class=\"content-card__headline\">Lydia Farro<\/h3>\n              \n\n              \n\t      \t        <p class=\"content-card__teaser\">Art + Design<\/p>\n\t      \t    \n          <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n          <\/div>\n  \n\n\n<p>This signifies how the relationship progressed from something pure, simple, and beautiful into something more difficult and constricting.

Through the evolution of humanity, our bodies have had to coexist with constant danger and risk, adjusting slowly over time to fight off the pathogens around us. These adaptations have become especially prevalent in 2020, as humanity navigates living around COVID-19 and balancing physical survival with mental and emotional health.\n        <\/p>\n      \n      \n<div class=\"ncst-accompaniment wp-block-ncst-fp-accompaniment\">\n    \n<aside class=\"floated-spotlight-aside-container\">\n  <div class=\"floated-spotlight-contents\">\n    <div class=\"ncst-content-card wp-block-ncst-fp-spotlight-card has-custombg-seven-background-color with-image with-cta\">\n  \n\n          <div class=\"content-card__image-container\">\n        <div class=\"content-card__image-background\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"\n            class=\"content-card__image wp-image-2085\"\n            alt=\"Morgan Cardwell\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/morgan-cardwell-web.jpg\"\n            style=\"aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; object-position: 52% 27%\"\n srcset=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/morgan-cardwell-web.jpg 400w, https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/morgan-cardwell-web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/a2w\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/12\/morgan-cardwell-web-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"content-card__text-container\">\n      \n                        <h3 class=\"content-card__headline\">Morgan Cardwell<\/h3>\n              \n\n              \n\t      \t        <p class=\"content-card__teaser\">Art + Design<\/p>\n\t      \t    \n          <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n          <\/div>\n  \n\n\n<p>Vita explores the theme of advancement through visual displays of the human form molded with abstracted patterns from virus, bacteria and fungi cells.
