I unfold into a lively flower in full bloom. As the world enters a threshold of withdrawal and isolation, the flower keeps on beating until it becomes a symbol of hope for humanity. I understand that we are one, and that it was not I who flourished in 2020. It is humanity as a whole that will flourish. What I once viewed as my personal flourishing becomes the blossoming of all humanity. ----- Este personaje nace entre la danza colectiva, el color y la alegría del carnaval de Barranquilla. Me desdoblo y siento esa flor viva. El mundo comienza a atravesar por este umbral de recogimiento y aislamiento, y esa flor sigue latiendo. Sigue latiendo hasta convertirse en un símbolo de esperanza para la humanidad, por qué entiendo que somos uno, y que no fui yo la que floreció en el 2020. Es la humanidad la que florecerá. Pasa de ser FlOR•ES•SER a convertirse en FLOR•ES•SEREMOS @viviannesaler

tw_user 313 Weeks 402 VotesTitle: coverup Photography: Tom Marshak Materials: Lycra fabric & 3D printing https://www.instagram.com/coralmoshe/ Cover up is an innovative headpiece, which combines elements of protection, personal health and safety, high-end fashion, privacy and identity, as well as promotes a cultural discussion. various design industries, and the fashion industry in particular, are influenced by global events, disarray and times of uncertainty. Those are also reflected in the mask, which in addition suggests an ambiguous connection to religious symbols. Wearing the mask does not necessarily derive from personal health concerns, it exists as a means of self expression through high fashion and luxury in the public space.
