Unveiling the Vision

Coney Island Drop

 

Hju, a young individual, unaware of the parents' current challenges that prevent them from traveling. Despite difficult circumstances, the parents strive to spend quality time with Hju and create moments of joy, allowing Hju to enjoy their childhood freely.

Immersed in American TV channels, Hju is captivated by commercials showcasing sprawling theme parks like Nickelodeon Universe, Disney Land, and Universal Studios. Innocently, Hju asks their parents to visit these parks, unaware of the struggles they face. In response, their parents simply promise, "We will try."

Then, the day finally arrives! Coney Island begins construction in their hometown. Excitement builds as they drive past the construction site, eagerly anticipating its grand opening. Even before completion, the rides are visible from outside the walls, promising endless adventures!

Upon opening, Hju is overwhelmed with joy, forgetting the dreams of visiting other distant parks. Despite Coney Island's imperfections, it becomes a haven of happiness for them, shared with their devoted parents. Their sacrifices ensure Hju's happiness, prioritizing it over their own desires.

However, upon closer observation, every parent takes note of a gradual decline in the once-vibrant park, showing signs of wear and tear, losing its initial charm. Despite its imperfections, their focus remains unwavering. Their priority is clear: to fulfill Hju’s heartfelt wish. Despite challenges, they are determined to bring joy to Hju's face. 

As Hju matures and gains insight into the complexities of their parents' lives, it becomes evident that the amusement park was a heartfelt expression of devotion from both sides.

From Hju: "Your thoughtful consideration for my desires has not gone unnoticed. You always managed to find a way to accommodate my wishes, ensuring I never missed out on any experiences. Regardless of the request, you consistently made it happen."

From the Parents: "We appreciate your gratitude for our efforts, understanding that they may not always align precisely with your desires. Your ability to make the most of every moment and appreciate our endeavors means a great deal to us."

 

 

Cancelled Garments

" Endless " 

This is the concept art for "ENDLESS," a garment (the 4th and final one) that was meant to capture the poignant emotion of saying farewell to "Coney Island." It was inspired by the final moments when trucks arrived to haul away the remnants of this beloved place, marking the end of an era. The design aimed to evoke nostalgia and the bittersweet feeling of letting go, commemorating the memories and experiences shared at Coney Island. The cherished memories of our childhood found their final resting place in the depths of our local landfill.

Though the garment will not see a release, there are 1-2 pieces of this garment made. These garments are archived, but might still see the light.
