"Energy Shot" \ Neta Shalom

 

When I was a 7-year-old, I witnessed the murder of my mother, and since then, I had to cope with loss and post-trauma throughout my life.

As a child, the best therapy for me was throughout art.

In one of my therapy sessions, the therapist said: "At the beginning or end of each session, Neta takes a syringe in the room and inject herself an 'energy shot'".

My collection speaks about dealing with post-trauma, by a naive and optimistic children's perspective on difficult and painful subjects.

"When scary things are presented in an appropriate context, scary things are good because they help children conquer their fears." - Niki de Saint Phalle.

The items are made from a variety of materials and creative techniques I used as a child: denim, leather, towels, cotton, evening fabrics, embroidery, knitting, tufting, bead's weaving, digital prints of prints taken from my inspiration world, and children's drawings.

The collection is designed for women, and the style of the collection is characterized by "playful" ready-to-wear garments that push boundaries with a connection to street fashion.
