Recommended by Paige (Collections Manager / Marketing Coordinator):
This piece is a quiet favorite of mine. Originally, I was drawn to the amazing textures: the flowing hillside, fabrics, and barely visible hair adornments. But I think the true value is in how Vavrova captures traditional Japanese style through an Eastern European lens, embracing another culture through her own practices. You can see the care she takes as a woman portraying other women. Through her travel experiences, Vavrova understands and shares a culture that is not her own, and in particular women, without distancing herself, without acting as an outsider or an intruder.

Recommended by Emma (Marketing & Communications Manager): Obata has left some room for interpretation in this piece, and when I look at it I see an entire world within a tide pool, as if I'm looking towards the sky from the bed of the pool, and there's a bird flying above. The textures, liness, and movement within the piece all come together in a satisfying way.
