Selection Committee of the Kabakov Institute

DON’T DISCARD THE PAST BEFORE A FINAL DECISION IS REACHED!

The Committee for Selection into the Future is the most critical stage in any person’s life. There, they must pass a vetting process to either be approved by the party for entry into a great future or to remain in the past forever.

The design of the scarf is inspired by my project, «The Kabakov Committee for Future Selection.» The core idea is based on the cyclical nature of events; the repeating pattern embodies the committee’s central concept—a space without time or boundaries. The gray-green palette, accented with red, conveys the aesthetic tension preceding a major choice in your life.
