Grateful and humbled to be a part of the Pop-Up shop at TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE AEON TEBRAU CITY from 6 Jan to 2 Mar 2025.

Community engagement is important to Pleígraund. Thankful for @tsutayabookstoreaeontc who shares the same values as mine to contribute to the creation of shared spaces, where individuals can come together to connect and share their thoughts and experiences. We hope to build more connected communities, where creativity is celebrated and diverse voices are valued.

「a ī • 愛 」* collection invites introspection on indigo being a force for creativity while identifying parallels between love and consciousness. Through audiences’ open and curious approach, we evolve into an exploration of consciousness, sentience, and the very nature of existence.

Hand-dyed works in the Pop-Up Shop suggest ways in which love is experienced everyday yet also connected to the grand scale of human destiny.

‘Our work it’s not a profession, it’s existence, we exist through art. The collections that address the playful ways the most important thing in life-love is expressed.
That’s it, that’s what I have to do, that’s what I want to do. That’s the one I want to dig into.

* ‘a ī means indigo in Japanese, ‘愛‘means love in English.

can’t wait to share more,
J.

Nature can be gentle. That it is a virtue.
