Her work includes costumes that respond to movement, sound, or proximity, transforming performers into living canvases that evolve in real time.
Inspired by cutting-edge practices such as haptic feedback wearables and bioluminescent textiles, Tove explores how technology can deepen the connection between performer and audience.
By integrating sensors, light, and responsive materials, her designs challenge conventional perceptions of clothing, blending art, science, and performance into cohesive, multi-sensory experiences.
