Second SKN is an experimental group showcase shaped by shifting textures and transformation. Informed by traditions of textile innovation, organic decomposition, and sculptural experimentation, the showcase traced the life cycles of matter—how materials erode, reform, and accrue meaning over time. Through diverse processes, the featured works explore material transformation as both a formal and conceptual framework. Weathered edges, unstable textures, and transitional states reveal how matter resists containment and calls for re-examination.
