For this project, I wanted to explore the evolution of sirens in ancient Greek mythology, tracing their transformation from their earliest depictions as half-bird, half-woman creatures to the modern image of seductive mermaid-like sirens. Originally portrayed in The Odyssey as monstrous and unseductive, sirens were feared rather than desired. Over time, however, their avian traits faded, giving way to the alluring half-fish form that dominates contemporary interpretations. This shift fascinated me, prompting me to investigate how and why this transformation occurred-and what was lost in the process. My research delves into the themes of wabi-sabi (the beauty of imperfection) and bias-cut garments to reflect the fragility and disappearance of the birdlike siren. I experimented with draping different materials to bring these ideas to life, exploring how fabric manipulation can evoke a sense of distortion, erosion, and transformation. I used a variety of textures- some structured and stiff, others fluid and sheer to mirror the contrast between the sirens' monstrous origins and their later ethereal, seductive image. Additionally, I incorporated extensive hand-stitching throughout my designs, emphasising irregularity and craftsmanship while reinforcing the theme of the imperfect and forgotten. Through these techniques, I aimed to capture the tension between beauty and the grotesque, embracing elements that might traditionally be overlooked or deemed as unfinished or undesirable. The sirens' original form, now largely forgotten, serves as a metaphor for the way aesthetic ideals evolve and how certain narratives are reshaped or erased over time.
