Andean Sunset

Andean Sunset *

Growing up in Quito, Ecuador, I was captivated by the contour of the mountains against the color-changing sky throughout the day. This breathtaking view of the Andes' Avenue of the Volcanoes is permanently etched in my memory, vividly resurfacing when I close my eyes. One afternoon, while driving through the region, I attempted to capture a sunset, but the moving car rendered my efforts futile. Instead, I captured a series of blurry yet stunning images that ignited my creativity. Inspired by those colors and shapes, I began draping soft fabrics to reflect the essence of those photographs. I sketched garments that blend softness with the mountains' sharpness and added embroidered beads to represent the city lights at dusk. The result is a collection that goes beyond mere mountains at sunset; it embodies the soul of those iconic Andean views and their lasting impact on my imagination.
