'Nuri'

I spotted a beautiful 'Nuri' while visiting the KL Bird Park. The different layers of colors, abstract yet very beautifully structured instantly inspired me. I sketched this piece to translates the unique beauty of the bird (even though nothing can beat the perfection of God's creations). 'Nuri' is a Malay word for parrot.

Below is my sketch of 'Nuri'. And below the sketch is the finished actual piece, made for a Client who wants to wear it as a 'jubah', or long dress. With its many layers of patterns, minimal accessories are needed to carry this piece in sheer elegance. This piece was done on Crepe Silk.
