Resilience is inspired by the spiritual symbolism of Oriental Lady's Thumb (false Indigo) and the energy embodied in vogue/ballroom culture, where everything - love, pain, joy, and resistance - is left on the dance floor. Seen as a way to identify oneself in nature, Vetiver employs their connection with plant spirits to create a mirror for the viewer. The image depicting seeds spreading upon maturation urges that regardless of the adversities one faces, each instance creates ripple effects for opportunities to create change and add our essence to the palette of everyday life.
