The Tattooed Phoenix
Conceived by Cult Futures and aimed at exploring the infinite possibilities of fashion in the Metaverse in partnership with digital atelier DressX and i-D.
This project was the first time I explored how digital fashion and the human body transformation might evolve in the metaverse world.
This avatar portrays how a tattoo can become in the future. I wish it could come alive and become an element of a garment where the distinction of the skin, tattoo, and garment becomes blurred. The symbol of the phoenix and the dragon is a metaphor for yin and yang. The tattoo can be like a floating armor, bringing balance and harmony to the wearer, making them into a higher being where the spirit is in balance.
Initial sketch. The avatar was created with a slightly more masculine energy
than this sketch for the final product.
