"Be At Ease"- The Fabric Collection
A collection of digital prints for my Be At Ease series. Printed on silk twill.
Based off my experiences in Ghana. I really appreciated how even when dealing with problems, many of the people I interacted with looked for things they were grateful for instead. Embracing a positive outlook on life.
This aspect of setting aside time to be grateful and focus on the positive elements in your life in exchange for your stress and grief, makes life more enjoyable.
Thus this has inspired me to design patterns that feature various people dancing and having a good time. In essence “shaking off” their negativity.
I wanted the women who wear these patterns to feel free and not weighed down by any circumstances. Therefore the patterns are symbolically printed onto silk twill, a lightweight and airy material.
I wanted women to remember they should try to Be At Ease. The very name of this collection.
