Visibly different arms hug the wearer’s waist from behind. The blue arm is filled with poly fil and the red arm filled with crinkly grocery bags, providing a soft and uneasy feeling. The fingers clamp together as a belt or corset, but deep within “Gather Her” represents the misconstrued vision of identifying relationships from the outside. The wearer receives my story, to feel safe with the blue arm and hypervigilant with the red arm.
