This jacket features Christine Sun Kim’s “Alphabet from the Speller’s Point of View,” a reimagining of an American Sign Language fingerspelling chart that flips the perspective from the viewer to the signer. By centering the speller’s experience, Kim challenges how communication is typically framed and who it’s designed for. The result is a wearable artwork that celebrates Deaf culture, language, and the beauty of visual expression.
I want to put emphasis on Deaf people's POV and, in the biggest sense, our presence in society and culture.
