The work consists of a black coat with a white collar that is transformed into a tent structure.
A garment associated with professional representation, status, and formal belonging is converted into a temporary shelter.
The work addresses economic mobility, adaptability, and precarity within global systems of labor and power. The coat refers to a business world shaped by male-dominated norms, in which visibility, authority, and belonging are organized through formal codes.
By transforming the coat into a shelter, this logic is displaced. Business identity is no longer presented as a stable position, but as a shifting condition that offers protection while simultaneously exposing vulnerability.
