Reveries: Fragments of Identity

 Reveries: Fragments of Identity

Collaboration with Nikola Janevski

 

The 'Reveries' are a series of ten handmade shirts made through a collaboration between Nikola Janevski and Andrea Burgay between 2024-25 through fabric collage, printmaking, burning, and upcycling. These reimagine shirt styles—like the tuxedo shirt and military shirt—to explore masculinity and femininity, the passage of time, and the dialogue between material and image.

Nikola presented the project at Kolaj Fest, New Orleans on June 26, 2025 while friends and new acquaintances modeled each shirt. Watch a video of the event on YouTube.
