Pearl Harvesting, Phuket Coast
 
Pearl farming in Phuket dates back decades, divers descending into warm coastal waters to tend cultivation beds, harvesting oysters by hand. The work is methodical: checking grids, gathering shells, extracting pearls one by one. Labor shaped by the ocean's rhythm, not its temperature.
 
The pearls on this coat are sewn by hand, following that same careful process. Their placement, however, shifts context. They cluster where snow would land first: shoulders, lapels, hem, marking points of contact between body and cold. A warm-water harvest arranged by winter's logic.
 
The coat reimagines Phuket's warmth through winter's touch.
