Colour Stories: Marrakech  

 

Colour Stories: Marrakech is a body of work that draws inspiration from my immersive experiences in the city. This project is a captivating exploration of the city's essence, meticulously translated through a rich interplay of colours, intricate weaves, and vibrant prints.

The handspun Banana yarn used in this project is deeply symbolic, evoking memories of the serene Riads and the refreshing shelter provided by the lush Banana trees against the scorching summer sun. Its whimsical texture serves as a mirror to the bustling energy of the souks, where I was introduced to a myriad of spices that shaped the initial phase of the series, featuring Avocado, Saffron, and Turmeric.

Employing a carefully curated color palette mirrors the disciplined vibrancy prevalent in Marrakech, resonating with the city's warm and inviting tones. Furthermore, the project seamlessly integrates my passion for woven textiles, botanical prints, and the intricate art of natural dyeing, creating a cohesive narrative that encapsulates my sensory journey through Marrakech.
