crystallization

Fascinated by the secrets and invisibility of water, in particular the antithesis of structure and chaos, Iris Van Herpen take this as the foundation of her collection. Imagine the transformation of water to crystal, soft and fluid as water, opposed to hard and mathematical structures.

"I am fascinated by the fact that there are secret lines hidden in totally transparent and liquid material. Life appears at the moment of freezing, when crystals form. Only then becomes the underlying symmetry and structure visible"
