Deep Dive
Oceans cover 70 per cent of the earth’s surface and are vital for environmental balance.
Yet, ocean pollution is largely driven by human activity on land. As environmental
conditions worsen, humans may one day need to adapt to a life shaped by the sea. ‘Deep
Dive’ highlights the interconnectedness of all life, fostering human empathy for marine
creatures. Inspired by the unique forms and colours of deep-sea animals, this collection of
garments blends human and aquatic elements. It urges us to reconsider how fast fashion
harms marine ecosystems. Each piece is crafted from second-hand materials, preventing
further ocean pollution. Andra Blazge aims to inspire sustainable choices to protect our
oceans and the future of all life on Earth.

The Puffwalker

Mesmerising hybrid of pufferfish, jellyfish, and human. Its turquoise scales rise into, defensive spikes when threatened. Long, ribbon-like tentacles trail behind it, drifting gracefully in the current, each movement simultaneously hypnotic and menacing. On land, it walks upright with a strange, fluid elegance. The centerpiece of its form is a large, flower-shaped mouth—a blossoming suction ring detailed with thin, petal-like teeth. This creature embodies the extremes of adaptation in the deep, where survival can sculpt life into astonishingly alien shapes.

The Coral Lure

It’s body is wrapped in colorful ruffles that swirl like coral and move like waves. Bright shades of pink, blue, and yellow remind us of glowing sea life, while it’s unusual shapes feel playful and otherworldly. It is part human, part ocean.
It lures in prey with dazzling display of colorful ruffles, camouflaging between the coralreefs. But it has a secret—on the other side of the body, textured suction shapes wait to capture and draw in prey. Both enchanting and efficient, it balances elegance with survival, reminding us how life under the sea is as clever as it is beautiful.

The Spiral Fin

The Spiralfin Hybrid stands with a human’s frame but is almost completely wrapped in coiling fins that spiral around its body from head to toe. These fins are a vivid yellow, with sharp red edges that highlight every curve and twist, giving the creature a bold, unmistakable look. Only its arms remain free of the spirals, human in shape and function, which makes them stand out all the more against the rest of its body.
In the water, the spirals serve as both armor and propulsion. They ripple and unwind in patterns that allow it to glide forward with surprising speed, while the red edges flash like warning signals to anything nearby. When threatened, the fins can flare outward in sudden bursts, making the creature look larger and harder to approach.
On land, the spirals fold tighter against its body, creating a layered, shell-like surface that protects its frame while it walks upright. The mix of its human arms and its spiraled, fin-covered body gives the Spiralfin Hybrid a form that is both practical and unsettling—part familiar, part alien.

The Deep-Sea Storykeeper

The Deep-Sea Storykeeper stands with a mostly human form, though its body is covered in strange additions that set it apart. Its torso is draped in a red dress, but this garment is no ordinary fabric. Woven into its surface are detailed, knitted scenes of deep-sea creatures mimicking human habits—smoking, lathering sunscreen, riding cruise ships, even eating fast food. Each image tells a small story, a reminder of how human actions ripple through the oceans and disturb the lives below.
The rest of its body is lined with sharp, spiky extensions that sprout from its arms and legs. These spines seem both protective and decorative, giving the creature an edge of danger even as it carries itself with quiet elegance. When it moves, the red fabric shifts around the spines, almost as though the sea itself were flowing over coral or rock.
The Redveil Hybrid feels like a walking reflection—half human, half ocean spirit—wearing the consequences of human behavior as part of its body. It is beautiful, unsettling, and symbolic all at once.

Deeparm Walker

This hybrid is mostly human in appearance, with a normal head and two legs, but its arms are replaced entirely by long, flexible octopus tentacles. When it stands upright, the tentacles trail down to the floor, coiling and curling with every subtle movement. Each tentacle is covered in smooth skin and lined with suction cups that allow it to grip, manipulate objects, or sense its surroundings with uncanny precision.
On land, the tentacles move slowly, curling and uncurling to maintain balance or interact with the environment. In water, they become fully alive—propelling the creature gracefully, capable of sudden bursts of speed or intricate maneuvers.

The Denim Drifter

The Denim Drifter is nearly human in shape, but its appearance is defined by the clothing it wears and collects. Its torso, limbs, and even parts of its head are layered with scraps of denim, gathered from the ocean and stitched—or seemingly fused—into a makeshift armor.
The mask it wears is decorated with denim textures and wave-like patterns across the front, top, and back, it obscures the creature’s gaze. From any angle, it is difficult to tell which way the hybrid is looking or moving, adding an unsettling quality.
Over time, the Denim Drift Hybrid has become a living collector, attracting and integrating discarded denim into its body covering. Each piece tells a fragment of human presence and pollution in the ocean, creating a layered, patchwork form that is both protective and symbolic. Despite its human frame, it feels as much a part of the ocean as the water and currents around it, drifting through its environment with quiet purpose.

The Radiant Merge Walkers

The Luminexus Pair appears as two human figures standing face-to-face, their forms nearly identical. From certain angles, it seems as if the two bodies are merging, but closer observation reveals a subtle, purposeful movement: they are communicating through a delicate shifting of their shapes, leaning, twisting, and stretching toward one another.
Where their bodies draw close, soft bioluminescent light emerges, tracing patterns along their skin and illuminating the space between them. The glow pulses in rhythm with their silent interaction, a living language of color and form. Their movements are fluid, almost dance-like, giving the impression that each gesture carries meaning beyond ordinary human expression.
The Luminexus Pair embodies both connection and transformation. They are separate beings yet appear to function as a single organism when in communication, creating a spectacle of light and life that is mesmerizing, peaceful, and utterly alien.

The Fungi Bloom

This hybrid moves upright on two legs, but its limbs are unlike any human’s. Instead of skin and muscle, its arms and legs are covered in soft, gelatinous growths that resemble the domed caps of jellyfish. These semi-transparent masses shift and wobble with each step, giving the creature an almost fluid motion.
The jelly-like coverings glisten faintly, as though holding trapped light, and their texture is similar to the heads of underwater mushrooms—fragile, pulpy, yet strangely resilient. When submerged, the gelatinous layers pulse gently, like living lanterns, and may even shed small drifting fragments that dissolve into the current.
On land, the growths sag and sway with its movements, making the hybrid appear heavy but graceful in an otherworldly way. The mix of human form and aquatic softness creates a being that feels both delicate and eerie, as if it belongs to a world halfway between reef and forest floor.

The Medusafinger

This creature has a mostly human shape, but its body carries unusual features that make it stand out. Its arms are long, with fingers that reach down to the ground. At the tips of each finger are smooth, ball-like shapes that it uses to tap, balance, or play with objects around it.
Similar finger-like strands also grow from its head, giving it a soft, medusa-like look. These strands are flexible and sway with the slightest movement, often making the creature appear curious and expressive.
On land, its body is pure white, giving it a calm, gentle appearance. When it slips into the water, however, its form becomes partly transparent, almost like glass. The long fingers and head-strands glow faintly through the water.
The Medusafinger may seem unusual at first, but its movements are slow and careful, and it is known to be a gentle presence both on land and in the water.

Seacock walker

The Seacock Walker carries the shape of a human, but rising from its back unfurls a grand, fin-like structure that defines its identity. In the water, this fan provides precision and speed. Yet on land—or in moments of ritual—the fin transforms into a spectacle. Much like a peacock’s tail, it can flare open in a radiant display, scales catching light in shifting hues of blue, green, and violet.
The Seacock Walker’s display is more than beauty. Among its kind, the spread fin is a sign of dominance, courtship, or warning. Some fins bear intricate patterns, like living murals painted by the sea itself. In darker waters, bioluminescent veins pulse across the fan, creating a haunting shimmer that can dazzle prey or intimidate rivals.

The Coral Bloom

The Coral Bloom is a strange fusion of human form and reef-born life. At first glance its silhouette is familiar—five limbs like a human—but each one is covered in living coral-like growths. These coral bodies aren’t fixed; they can detach and shed, breaking away in pieces that drift like brittle blossoms into the water. Sometimes the fragments continue to glow or twitch, creating distractions for predators—or lures for prey.
Its movements are slow but deliberate, every step or gesture carrying the weight of something both terrestrial and tidal. When threatened, it may deliberately shed pieces of its coral limbs, leaving behind a shifting barricade of broken reef that protects its retreat.
