Through therapeutic design, craft and manufacturing processes Saskia mutates, disguises and repurposes European military garments. Her designs ask us to look beyond and imagine the possibilities that arise from cross-cultural lifestyles. GOLA (advance and re-treat) was shot in Brazil and sheds new perspectives on trans-nationalism by celebrating the positive outcomes which develop from negative ancestral displacements.

Através do design terapêutico, Saskia transforma, disfarça e reaproveita uniformes militares europeus. Com seu trabalho, Saskia nos pede para olhar além e imaginar novas perspectivas sobre o transnacionalismo. GOLA (advance and re-treat) foi filmado no Brasil e celebra os resultados positivos que se desenvolvem a partir de deslocamentos ancestrais negativos.
