For this challenge I really wanted to represent my home country in West Africa. I wanted to create something powerful and feminine.

With these ideas, I started Anahera’s journey in the Sahara Desert.

Suddenly she realises her roots are all around her.

The pattern on the streets of Paris, the modesty of the powerful woman she is surrounded by, her dress flows like a waterfall as she walks into the crowd.”
