Equilibrium

Description

My interpretations is playing with the horizontal and vertical, with the transparency and lightness of vintage egret feathers and solid colours of feathers creating wings, with the vintage and modern, with the elaborate wings yet utterly modern simple stylish headpiece.

Playing with the different feathers, different directions but connecting with colours I created a balanced, modern headpiece honouring classic style.
