Forsaken (25)

A letter to you from me, for you but also for me. Be afraid. For ease is the mask worn by traps. Only time will reveal whether the hand you held was guiding you forward. Fear is not the enemy. It’s the last honest thing you’ll feel…. A whisper reminding you there is still much to lose. Much you still want. A feeling not to be forsaken, for good or bad, it’s a less than subtle reminder, were alive. But if you’re reading this… FORSAKEN 2025

Katariina Kekoni: The Fear of Unbeing

The collection explores dissociation — the unsettling feeling of life and one’s own body appearing unreal, and the fear of losing touch with reality.Dissociation is a trauma-related function of the human brain, a natural defense mechanism meant to protect us from overwhelming stress or traumatic experiences.People describe dissociative experiences as frightening and disorienting. These sensations can include life, objects, or people feeling unreal. One’s own body feeling foreign or not like ”one’s own”. Fear, dizziness, loss of time or memory, and a sense of freezing or detachment from one’s actions.This collection brings dissociation to the surface through clothing and fashion — giving form to the invisible and expression to the unspeakable.
