Jamie explores the future of human adaptation to rising sea levels, speculating on mutations in human skin. She examines body modification practices, specifically scarification, within the African Mursi and Suri tribes, understanding its cultural significance and role in self-identity. Scarification, with its textured surface, aligns with her vision of future human skin. The use of fish hooks to create bubble-like textures informs her design, which she translates into skin-like textiles adorned with metallic embellishments. This fusion of traditional practices and futuristic aesthetics reflects her interpretation of human skin’s potential evolution.

"SCARIFICATION" envisions a future where human skin evolves, combining scarification traditions with innovative textiles to create skin-inspired designs.
