Inspired by the texture, color, and fluid forms of strange underwater creatures and wild flora, Hana Qiumarsi explores the boundaries of beauty and discomfort, where the body and softness collide.

For this Snack Pop-Up Qiumarsi opens the door to an uncanny playground of soft textures and strange forms. Experience a space where taboo becomes touchable, and the inner child peeks out from under a layer of skin.

This is a soft awakening, where what we hide becomes what we hold.
