The elegance and strength of the Onna-Bugeisha
At the crossroads of delicacy and combat, Kimono and Katanas is a tribute to the Onna-Bugeisha, these Japanese warriors who, far from the clichés, mastered both the art of the saber and that of grace.
On the left, a fabric with patterns inspired by Japanese silks evokes a sumptuous kimono, structured by a pink obi edged with gold thread, a symbol of femininity and refinement. This visual softness contrasts with the right part of the composition, where the attributes of a warrior woman take their place with solemnity:
🔸 Miniature katanas, crossed like an oath of loyalty and strength.
🔸 Hair ornaments, reflections of an art of living where beauty and struggle coexist.
🔸 Plant elements, recalling the harmony between the soul and nature.
Gwenelvez plays with materials and relief to bring to life a work where each detail tells a story, where each element celebrates the fragile balance between grace and power.
"Kimono and Katanas" is a tribute to the warrior women of yesterday and today, to those who carry within them the softness of silk and the firmness of a blade."
