Roi Nu

Fighting thirst, she stumbles through the sand as she lifts her head.

She is struck by the giant structures of lines and strength.

This fills her with energy and she is instantly inspired to explore more.

The unknown gives her a sense of fear but she pushes forward.

Strangers and danger are around every corner but with her energy and determination

She will be right.

I was inspired by the complimentary colours of sea blue and gold I felt these related to Egypt. My silhouette combined solid structure, lines and geometric shape of the Pyramid. Every Pyramid has very secret function and structure. This is why I wanted to create something very special for Anahera.

I started to experiment with paper using the triangle. Fine pin tucking to hold all lines and triangle shapes, accordion shape pleating and folding, box pleating - incorporated to form a strong silhouette. I used all the sari fabric including the brooch and lining what I got on judging day.”
