Based on the concept of the para sympathetic system, this project explores the combination of fashion and poetry as alternative tools to engage with and embody the parasympathetic responses. By reimagining the body’s natural processes through wearable design and literary expression, ‘Polymorphic Poem's’ offers a multi sensory approach to easing and translating the lived experiences of genetic polymorphism. Fashion and poetry intertwine not only as aesthetic mediums but as functional, empathetic devices that ground the wearer in both physical and emotional reflection.
