The foundation of the Art of Human Body is the human figure and its contours. The aim of the collection was to create sculptures in which the body and the cloth form a wholeness. On the other hand, I tried to test the limits of the definition of a piece of clothing: If a cloth is reflected upon the skin, is it a piece of clothing? If you are wearing a full-length piece of jewellery ? is it a piece of clothing or a piece of jewellery?
Experimental materials have been used in the collection, such as horsehair, paper, metal and crystal. The primary working method was design. The overall look of the collection is an avant-garde evening dress collection and it's divided into four sections: Dark Lady, Earth, Covered with Nakedness and Innocence. It speaks of fashion as a field of art and its meaning in society.
The collection was presented at the Baltic Fashion Award competition in Heringsdorf, Germany on the 15th of October, 2005, where it was chosen as the best collection in Experimental Fashion.

My career in design began with my first public appearance, the spring fete in fifth grade, in a dress I had designed and made myself.

As a designer I try to come up with sustainable solutions and products whose value will outlast seasonal trends. Beauty is a real value which makes our environment more pleasant and thus increases general wellbeing. I try to incorporate this visual value into my designs. However, I also believe that functionality is the number one priority. A successful product combines these two aspects.
