Carpe Diem / Noam Schlichter

 

The project explores the intricate interplay between life and death, which constitutes the essence of human existence. It reflects on life's transience and the fleeting moment as an opportunity for deep introspection, aiming to seize the present and foster a purposeful life with self-fulfillment and discovery amidst the inevitable awareness of mortality. Memento Mori and carpe diem—"Remember death" and "pluck the day"—offer complementary perspectives on existence.

Inspired by Vanitas paintings, the floral bouquet serves as a narrative, embodying the stories of blooming and wilting, captured and translated into prints. The collection depicts petal disintegration, symbolizing the tension between death and the aesthetic of natural processes.

The collection combines lingerie designs for women and uses delicate textiles integrating RealSkin—a synthetic material mimicking human skin.

Personally, death stimulates daily introspection into aspirations and desires, making the project a therapeutic exercise in philosophical contemplation.
