yod-dha: The Warrior To Honor and Celebrate Feminine Power The concept of this collection aims to honour women as warriors, to raise awareness of a woman’s beauty in its purest form, to highlight the strength of a woman. The core inspiration is drawn from Hindu Goddess Kali - represented as a fearless feminine idol - what we like to call The Traditional Warrior, cross-referenced with modern perceptions of a strong woman – The Modern Warrior. This collection captures identities and traits through traditional female idols and modern female interpretations to metaphorical objects and male tribe attributes to create “Yod dha”. We had a very playful approach to this collection, creating dynamic hand paintings using abstract splashes of watercolor and line drawings. Exhausting this free motion technique, we generated characters to create our very own army of warriors translated into artworks on silk.
