About Woman in Power Naqshadeynta Dharka

Woman in Power waa dhar karnifaal ah oo loo abuuray si loo matalo xoogga haweenka. Dharka wuxuu sameeyaa qaab u eg feeddhig oo lagu qurxiyey baalal, waana la xiraa isagoo ah qayb muujineed. Midabbada casaanka iyo guduudka waxay tixraacaan calaamadaha caalamiga ah ee wacyigelinta kansarka naasaha iyo tacaddiga guriga. Qaab-dhismeedka la farsameeyay waxaa lagu xardhay silig bir ah oo la isku dhejiyay iyada oo la adeegsanayo farsamo gaar ah, ka dibna waxaa lagu daboolay maro sida spandex iyo dantelo, waxaana lagu dhammeeyay biinbiin iyo qurxin kale. Woman in Power waxaa gacanta looga sameeyay tan iyo bilowga si loogu sharfo kuwii ka badbaaday.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: This design represents the designer's story, highlighting a woman's ability to take the pain and challenges and turn it into art to inspire other women. The piece is designed by a self-taught woman, who reflects the symbolism of women's power and strength.
Tags: Costume, Carnival, Cayman, Women Empowerment,
Production Technology: This design was handmade from scratch, using a combination of various fabrics such as spandex, lace, and other embellishments such as sequins. The foundation that created the sculpted piece is framed with metal wire and bonded using a special technique.
Design Challenge: The most challenging design element is the time and effort to sculpt the design with the metal wire. This took extensive time to carve, frame, and secure before the fabric base could be applied. But the hardest challenge was the mental aspect of converting a dark personal story into a design that is uplifting and vibrant design.
Research: Design by a self-taught designer from the Cayman Islands who utilizes visualization to map and conceptualize the design. This particular design stems from a personal story that is retold in a manner to represent all women. Additionally, there was research using a combination of internet search and discussions to find the best way to create a representation that could speak to the combination of domestic abuse and breast cancer
Inspiration: This design pays homage to women's battles, specifically those who are breast cancer survivors and abuse. The combination of colors is taken from the global representation of breast cancer and domestic abuse – pink and purple. The design creates a fan-like shape adorned with feathers to create a statement piece representing women's ability to stand strong, stand tall, and overcome the physical and emotional battles associated with breast cancer and domestic abuse.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2018 and was completed in Dec 2019 in the Cayman Islands
