Make Sure You 
Stay Warm  
Wearable, Typography (2026)

This project looks at invisible labor through the repeated reminders many mothers give when it gets cold, such as “make sure you stay warm.” These words are said again and again and are often expected, 
but they still take effort each time.

The phrase is printed at a large scale on a silk 
scarf. When the fabric is laid flat, the text can be 
clearly read. Once worn, the words become obscured 
and turn into a pattern that wraps around the neck. 
Others can no longer read the message, but the 
wearer still knows it is there, making the care private and invisible.

Wearing the scarf also creates a physical sense of warmth, echoing what the words ask for. Their effect stays with you.
