This conceptual piece evolved from lines on graph paper, to a groundbreaking halo headpiece. I chose to make a headband that revolved around the Richter scale, a numerical scale that measures the magnitude of an earthquakes and raises the human heartbeat.

*Natural Disasters and the Beauty Found Within*

Natural disasters have become a staple in today’s society. Whether it be hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, drought, wildfire, or avalanches, many parts of the world have first hand experience. Is the frequency of these occurrences a direct link to global warming? Or, is it just a coincidence that the frequency of such natural disasters has increased? This collection is set to challenge the notion of darkness surrounding natural disasters, and push the audience to see that under every hardship, there is new beauty to be found. I set out to immerse the audience with a sense of heaviness, mixed with a sense of hope for a better tomorrow with the use of colour, shape, and detail.
