Water Lily
This environmentally conscious dress combines 18th-century fashion with the symbolic power of water lilies. Like the water lily's ability to emerge from the water, it represents birth and resurrection which have been associated with these meanings and symbolism across various cultures and belief systems. The dress also embodies purity and majesty, reflecting the white petals often associated with water lilies. However, its most intriguing symbolism lies in enlightenment. Just as the water lily represents a profound understanding, this dress calls for a transformative shift in our practices to protect the environment. This dress is crafted from repurposed materials like cardboard, eggshells, paper, plastic bags, bubble wrap, anti-static peanut white foam used to protect shipments, and recycled foam. Created for Trash to Trend 2015 fashion show fundraiser.
