“Gut Feeling” walked the runway during NWA Fashion week at the Momentary March 2022. The expanding line currently features 10 sculptural wearables. Each piece is adorned with an anatomical feature such as gut, muscle, or vain structures. The base of each design is inspired by medical field attire and explores the theme of the abject body. The runway became a stage, telling a larger narrative. The audience, unaware of it, became a medical waiting room. Each model representing the somber mood of a patient just being diagnosed and no matter how many tests, procedures, or exams they were determined to get through this, no matter how many eyes were staring at them in the waiting room, they were going to persevere.
