IRO BY DOJMI IS A LIMITED SERIES OF WEARABLE HANDKERCHIEFS REIMAGINED AS RITUAL OBJECTS.
EACH PIECE IS HANDMADE USING UNIQUE FABRICS FROM HISTORIC TEXTILE MILLS THAT NO LONGER EXIST.
CRAFTED SLOWLY AND INTENTIONALLY, THEY ARE NOT FASHION ITEMS IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE, BUT TOOLS FOR PRESENCE: FOLDED, TIED, HELD, CARRIED. THEY BELONG TO THE BODY, YET SPEAK OF SPACE.
BEYOND THE CLOTH, IRO IS AN ONGOING ARTISTIC PRACTICE.
IT MOVES THROUGH SPACE — ARCHITECTURAL, NATURAL, INTIMATE.
ITS LANGUAGE IS BUILT FROM MATERIALS, HUMAN PRESENCE AND PHOTOGRAPHY.
THE WORK EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUILT ENVIRONMENTS AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF NATURE, A THEME THAT FLOWS ACROSS IRO’S COLLECTIONS AND VISUAL STORYTELLING.
EACH SERIES IS ACCOMPANIED BY A HYBRID PUBLICATION, PART CATALOGUE, PART CONTEMPORARY ART BOOK, THAT CAPTURES NOT JUST WHAT IS MADE, BUT THE ATMOSPHERE IT CARRIES.
COLOR, IN IRO, BECOMES A WAY TO PAY ATTENTION.
A METHOD OF CARE. A LANGUAGE OF LOVE.
