A PEACE OF HOPE : ART ENTRY
This was my entry for @thevofashion Cover art Challenge 2023.



CONCEPT NOTE
As we face the repercussions of war, climate change, fashion also has a role to play in this, so sustainable fashion becomes important, which would stitch hope into every fiber.
I believe we must strive to find the divine presence in us that would channel the power of sustainability in fashion, where the balance of ethical practices, advancement in high end technology, public education, and the circular economy would come together to create a magical world. Times when we would embrace the transformative threads of peace and hope, which would ultimately illuminate a path of radiance for our beloved mother planet.
The divine person here in this illustration is wearing
Striped Denim Dress with drawstrings by the legendary and one of my favourite designer @bibhumohapatra from Odisha. His designs are always an inspiration for me
Over here are the closeups of the arms of the Divine person, holding a few things in their hands. The palms are red in colour instead of the colour of skin to represent that these hands have so much courage and potential to change the things around.

A. The top right arm of the divine person holds a wrench and the Symbol of Settings which represents the usage of high end Technology.
B. The top left arm holds a book, which represents education for public for awareness.

C. The bottom right arm holds a balance scale which represents the balance in things for equality in all domains of life. 
D. The bottom left arm holds a symbol which represents the principle of Circular economy of the 3'R's 
Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

Keeping the semiotics in mind, I wanted to convey the message to the world that these four things could create magic in the coming future for our beautiful earth.
Over here the divine person is carrying our earth in the form of a purse. They (the divine person) flaunt their purse beautifully shining bright with rays coming out, which signifies that the culmination of the four ethos mentioned above would bring a positive change for earth.  
This conceptual artwork which represents my version of peace, using sustainability as a tool, was featured on the official page of The Voice of Fashion.

I hope my thoughts and my work was inspirational for you. Keep creating magic, keep inspiring others for a better tomorrow on this beautiful Earth, only then peace shall come to us.
