The object
Signal is color used as structure. Neon red is cut into a triangle halter and a low V-front brief, both double-faced so the surface stays opaque and matte even in direct sun. Every adjustment is made with self-fabric ties: neck, back, and hip. No rings, no sliders, no bright metal interrupting the red. The brief sits low and follows the hip with moderate coverage through the back; the top is spare, direct, and held by tension alone. At the wearer's-left front hip, the circular two-slab A is satin-embroidered in the same red — relief without contrast, visible when light crosses the thread. It is the most immediate object in the collection and the least complicated. Red before language. Form before explanation.
