Timeless

Engineered print design for womenswear inspired by the theme "Infinite Dimensionality".

My interpretation of "Infinite Dimensionality" is the concept of time. Time unfolds like a series of infinite dimensions because it never stops and has no limits — we continue to exist as we experience each moment in this endless universe. I was inspired by a concept from Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-Five: "All moments of time occur and reoccur endlessly and simultaneously."

I aimed to convey a visual narrative of movement and continuity in my design. To achieve this, I created a digital collage, combining my sketch of Myron's Discobolus — a symbolic representation of movement and balance — with various nature photographs for a mixed-media look. The juxtaposition of classical art and a sci-fi aesthetic evokes a sense of dislocation between the past and present. Nevertheless, the sun above the sea horizon, the night sky, the moon phases, and the satellite view of Earth's time zones harmoniously illustrate how parallel moments in time coexist across multiple dimensions.

My name is Hyojin (he-o-jin, 2 syllables) Naomi Noh. I specialize in textile and surface pattern design. Screen printing and drawing are my favorite techniques, and I work in both traditional and digital media. I like to be narrative and incorporate whimsy and humor into my designs, often referencing movies, art history, and internet culture. Color is also a key element in my designs, and I enjoy experimenting with combinations to evoke a certain mood and theme. I hold a BFA in Textile/Surface Design and an AAS in Fine Arts from Fashion Institute of Technology. You can reach me via email at info@hyojinnaomi.com or connect with me on LinkedIn or Instagram.
