Nihilistic Entries takes from gothic art, architecture,music and literature, centering on the discomfort andunease within the human experience. Distressed, exaggeratedmotifs and textures are used to create a somber andmelancholy feeling. Influencedby the book, Goth - A Historyby Lol Tolhurst, alongsidethe early goth music culture. Patterns are layered,asymmetrical and distortedto create a visual languagethat feels splintered. Thesepatterns align with the work ofAnn Deulemeester to create a contemporary and elevated post-punk, gothic look. Created as
an enhanced interpretation ofgothic style to feel livableand less like a costume. Monochromatic blues and sheerfabrics allow motifs to buildupon each other to create depthon the body.
