cosmological entropy

BA 1 KASK (2023 - 2024)

Cosmological Entropy is one of my earliest weaving projects, completed during the second semester of my first bachelor in Textile Design. Developed on weaving looms, this project marked the first moment in which the concept of animism began to emerge within my practice.

Starting from the act of weaving itself, I investigated how the process is not purely controllable but unfolds as a dialogue between warp and weft, shaped by rhythm, tension, and material behavior. Elements such as yarn type, warp tension, weave structure, and beating density actively influence the outcome. Weaving revealed itself as a cosmology of its own: an entropic dance in which order and chaos alternate, and form continuously appears and dissolves from an invisible, autonomous realm.

In my search for visual and aesthetic language, I turned toward a non-human cosmology: that of nature. By making frottages of tree bark, I attempted to design not from personal imagination but from nature’s own language. This shift reframed nature from a source of inspiration or raw material into a dialogue partner. Within this aesthetic, I find a quiet poetic force, suggesting that nature speaks to us if we are willing to explore the boundaries of our perception.
