Bunny plushie

Soft sculpture

“Bunny plushies that I completely developed from scratch where I drafted the pattern, hand painted, and sewed. I wanted to share a part of my childhood with people because I'm a strong believer in tying things back to your childhood, simply because one's childhood is their foundation of life. Your first couple of years on this planet are crucial and shape who you are today. As a child, I collected bunny plushies and absolutely adored them as animals as well. I wanted to share my love for bunnies to the world while reminding people of their inner child.”

About the artist

Nour Alkhatib

Nour Alkhatib was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. She moved to the Middle East (Jordan) at the age of seven, where she lived for four years. Alkhatib moved back to America in the year 2008 and has continued her education here ever since. Alkhatib remembers having an interest in clothing ever since she was a child. She had always known she would end up doing something in the creative field, not knowing what it was exactly.
In the year 2015 Alkhatib met someone who had impacted her life and persuaded her to study clothing design. The following year she began freelancing as a stylist. That activity ultimately led Alkhatib to designing her own garments and fashion pieces when she could not find the appropriate garments for a shoot. At the time she lacked a basic understanding of sewing or putting a garment together, it was hard to find garments she liked, Alkhatib wanted to learn how to properly create her own. The following year she went to school for fashion design where she learned skills such as Sewing, patternmaking, draping. The process of clothing is Alkhatib’s personal catharsis, allowing her to release emotions and experiences and bring them to life in the 3D/2D form.
