Ivory Taffeta Bow on Dress Form in Sunset Light

Rich amber sunset light fills a rehearsal space in Guéckédougou, illuminating a dress form holding a large bow of crisp ivory taffeta. Fine droplets from a light drizzle hang in the air and settle on the fabric, darkening the edges of the bow slightly. The cool season air keeps the material stiff and structured against the dimming background. Negative space surrounds the form, isolating it within the dim room. Water beads rest on the lower curve of the bow, highlighting the sheen of the taffeta. The structure stands alone under the warm glow.
