Storytelling has always been a part of my life. I want to tell stories through fashion where each design fits with the scene of the story, or presents the setting of the scene in the story. Thinking of the four elements of life and considering the element of air itself, such as what kind of personality it holds compared to the other elements and its color schemes for example, I created a fictional story where it explains the history between humans and the air, and how the hurricane came to be from back then to this present day in Florida.

This is the design I chose. It represents the dance with the people on the island, where the air would form into a spiraling disc and spin in a circle with the people spinning, dancing, and following along with it.

The piece is supposed to act as a performance piece. Without the support, it sags until you spin like a ballerina.
Storytelling has always been a part of my life. I wanted to tell the story through fashion where each design presents or fits the each scene in the story. Taking ideas of the elements of life, how it forms natural disasters, and thinking of how they make shapes or forms, it led to the idea of how the element of air can create many physical forms such as the hurricane. Considering the air itself, such as what kind of personality it holds compared to the other elements and its color schemes for example, I created a fictional story where it explains the history between humans and the air, and how the hurricane came to be in Florida. The fourth design (that was chosen) acts as a performance piece where you would spin like a ballerina, taking its form like a spiraling disc, recreating the scene from the story.
