Empathy for Social Anxiety

The inspiration for this fashion design was a study project, together with Julia Freyer and Julia Brandl, "Vienna Empathy Spaces" .

To be more mindful of mental health, a series of poems and audio tracks were created that were connected to personal stories and places in Vienna. 

Based on this, I created a fashion design, which at first glance presents the outwardly elegant view, which is presented to the public and which image is surgerized in social media and magazine.

Subsequently, this outfit was transformed. This highlights the inner view of a fragile, shy being.

 

A place I avoid  

A place is full of history,

full of stories,

full of feelings.

 

A place that may seem beautiful

turns out to be a nightmare.

For one person it is heaven,

for another it is hell.

Locations evoke memories, 
provoke fears.

 

There is a place I avoid.

Under consciously.

But once I realized how long I haven't been here,

doubts arise.

 

This is a place

full of atmosphere,

a place

where people chat and study, by day

and get drunk near the church, by night.

 

But there is something

that no one recognizes

in this space.

 

A place

with a pond in the middle

once I was splashed by some guys.

My underwear shone through.

 

I remember 
the night two years ago.

I was standing in front of the concert hall.

Waiting for you

at this place.

 

I felt humiliating looks of the guests,

dressed in chic designer clothes.

I wore a no-name shirt and jeans.

 

The outsider in the crowd

who was standing out.

Left alone without a message.

 

In the past, we had it,

had this space.

But in the present

I hate and miss:

you and this place.
