NETSU NO YUME - FEVER DREAM

The central tenet of this collection, which I have conceived as a “freak show,” is to articulate and celebrate the inherent singularity that resides within each individual’s perception and identity.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, “freak shows” were an accepted facet of American popular culture. These exhibitions were regarded as suitable entertainment for the middle class and proved financially lucrative for showmen, who, regrettably, often exploited the disabilities of the performers for personal gain.
In this context, I propose a reflexive approach: to engage with the notion of our own perceived “freakishness” and to valorize the very differences that distinguish us. This collection seeks to subvert the historical exploitation of such exhibitions by transforming the concept into a celebration of individual uniqueness and the diverse tapestry of human identity.
