My LV-Inspired Darth Vader Sculptures reinterpret one of cinema’s most iconic characters through the lens of luxury craftsmanship and sustainable design. Built from upcycled Louis Vuitton materials and found components, these sculptures explore the duality within Darth Vader — the balance between strength and vulnerability, darkness and refinement. This series reflects my ongoing pursuit to merge high fashion, cultural storytelling, and sustainability into cohesive sculptural works that transform myth into modern design.
