Artist’s note
HOKI is a series of handcrafted dragon sculptures exploring fantasy and emotional attachment among Generation Z. Through intricate, labour-intensive making, imaginary creatures are transformed into tangible objects that can be held, worn and collected.
Each piece exists between soft sculpture, contemporary craft and wearable art, questioning the boundaries between artistic expression and emotional possession.
Inspired by the growing significance of fictional worlds and personalised objects in contemporary youth culture, the project investigates how fantasy becomes a source of comfort, identity and belonging. These creatures are intimate companions through which imagination takes physical form.
