This one-of-a-kind headpiece brings to life an explosion of lava through beading and Nagorie feathers. I set out to challenge the darkness surrounding volcanic eruptions and use it as a metaphor of life. Sometimes erupting is what allows us to simmer.

*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.
