This top is a wearable metaphor. On the front, a heart—vulnerable and alive—guarded by pins pointing sharply upward. They create distance but also ask for care, a subtle reminder to handle the inner world gently. Veins flow outward from the heart, forming a vibrant network of growth and connection.

The back reveals a blooming flower, bold and delicate. Its stem, lined with thorns, speaks of the strength and fragility of beauty. At its center, a heart-shaped bud mirrors the heart on the front, showing how everything is interconnected—love, growth, transformation.

Green leaves frame the design, adding an organic touch of hope and renewal. An invisible vein ties the front and back together, reminding us that the inner and outer, protection and blooming, are inseparable. This piece is more than clothing—it’s a story you wear.
