ObjectsMA-1 Bomber Jacket
Context

Familiar objects taken apart to show what they're made of — materially, culturally, historically. Each study begins with a single object and ends with a diagram of the systems embedded within it.

The archive starts with a MA-1 bomber jacket: a garment that carries military history, subcultural codes and mass-market manufacturing within the same shell.

Every object carries a history of decisions.

Method

The process is the same each time: acquire, research, disassemble, document, reconstruct. The end result is an interactive infographic — part visual analysis, part historical record. An object made legible.

3D modeling extends what photography can't reach: the inner layer, the hidden seam, the structural logic beneath the surface. Both modes feed into a single artifact that lives between archive and editorial.
