DEAR EBE - AQUA
CONCEPT
The acronym 'EBE' denotes Extraterrestrial Biological Entity, and in Aqua’s vision, it takes the form of 'EBE-AQUA.' The knitted 'Infinity' serves as the brand's symbol, representing the boundless expansion of time, space, and the infinite possibilities bestowed upon humanity.
With unwavering determination, Aqua is crafting her own world—a dreamlike panorama for the audience. The introductory series, 'Infinite Aqualand,' sets the stage for this visual narrative. Now, with the second series, 'DEAR EBE-AQUA,' it marks the official first chapter. The theme resonates as a love letter to ourselves: a journey to self-discovery, self-affirmation, and an embrace of the future.
Drawing inspiration from 1990s Japanese anime,Aqua reevaluates the potential structure and relationship between the body and clothing, sparked by detachable equipment. Additionally, Dora Maar's surrealist photography, with its profound sense of beauty and a touch of grotesque aesthetics, profoundly influences her creative perspective. In terms of color, the bold paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe have long empowered her artistic expression.
