GIFT

scarf
Rina Etsuda , 2021

The design of this scarf is based on my birthdate. The constellations and flowers drawn in the center represent birthdays. May 21st is Taurus and Gemini and the birth flower is Kasumi grass. Also, the white flower that decorates the edge of the scarf is jasmine. These are the origins of my name. A name is a gift from parents and the birthday is a gift from God. A happy day for me is depicted here with many emerald jewels. The second and third photos are enlarged views of the scarf. The constellations are drawn with lines of many colors. The numbers 5, 2,and 1 are drawn as part of a pattern and are hidden.
