Do regular clothes hold meaning? How can clothes that are bought from large scale retailers be customized or personalized to a person's style? Can I customize my clothes in a way that adds value and identity without compromising on style?

These are some questions I asked while designing my patchwork for my denim jacket. 

This project started with a lot of separated components. I had the jacket, a large scrap of duck cotton, photos printed on cotton, art work printed on cotton, embroidery floss, etc. One Sunday I asked what if I put them all together and created a large panel. 

This jacket is one of my favorite pieces of clothing I own. I find it particularly interesting that before I applied the patchwork to the jacket's back panel, it was nothing more than a denim jacket. As soon as I added the panel, it became a statement to my creativity. This relationship was an exciting revelation as I wasn't expecting to find it so easy to customize my own clothing.
