Laia Molina Tarruella – Spain

Començament (starting again)

Category: Modern

Description

There is a lot FUSION point of views in my headpiece…

“PAST & PRESENT”: my past as a dressmaker and the way I want to live now as a milliner.

“CITY” with the “rude” materials looking so industrial as  grey cement in a  dark rainny day against the “NATURE”, with the colorful flowers and organic elements. These two worlds are in me and I love them.

MY PASSIONS: two of my passions are sewing and working with my hands and the photography that I know I have in my dna and I want to improve and work about that… and colaborate with some others photographers as well.

All these elements together is a mix to express a real statement of intents about I want to live and create from now. A re-start. “Començar de nou” we say in catalan.
