Nature’s Floating Sanctuary is a fashion series inspired by the airborne castle in Howl’s Moving Castle, symbolizing harmony between technology and nature. The designs combine greenery, vintage metals, and industrial elements to envision a utopian future where architecture and the environment coexist. Plant-like visuals are created with hand-stitched yarns, rust-dyed fabrics, and layered laser mesh, reflecting the tension and beauty of natural and industrial fusion.
