Oasis

MR21092
Cotton patchwork into a dupatta
Spoken for
I name this shawl Oasis, not only because of the reminder from the choice of colours but also because of the design intention used in this dupatta.

When we experience a lack, we are given an opportunity to feel the abundance. Both exist simultaneously. Taking this forward, I have designed this dupatta in a way that when its seen as a passing quick glance, it may appear like it holds nothing much, a “lack”. Look closer and you will see every little intricate detail, the “abundance" That closer look is like an oasis in the desert. Only those seeking will see it.

Look closer and you will find many fabrics coming together to form the border. You will also see a repetition of three dots, I call them them the trinity reminder. Some further geometry will show up. The more you seek in it, you will see the clarity on intention in it. And that is exactly where I want to take you, to the Oasis, through the desert wind!
