Seraph is a decorative textile mask made to resemble descriptions of Biblical angels, specifically seraphim. These angels had six wings and hundreds of eyes all over their bodies. What would be a horror to behold in reality became imagery that I found comforting. Their etherial holiness and otherworldly androgyny is what draws me most to biblical angels. They're beautiful horrors I wish I could embody, which is why I chose to create a wearable piece.
Early concept sketches
This was my first try creating a wing with wire in it, so the final wings could be posed.
