Many endangered animals are forced into the illegal wildlife trade because of their rarity and economic value. They are held in tight cages for long periods of time and are deprived of their natural habitat. From this idea we crafted our studio title: Stuck. From this we thought about how we wanted to represent the poor habitat of the animal. We wanted a dress that symbolized a cage and a tight environment. The dress we made features these elements and while still a beautiful dress. Our thought process was that since animals are trapped by their own beauty, we made the dress to do the same thing. On lookers just admire the beauty of the spots of the dress, but do not even think about how the person wearing the dress feels.
