Flamenco Rose, like the persecuted peoples of her tribe, is all about survival and adaptability. The ancient passion of the Roma is evident in her adaptation of the traditional flamenco dress into a eco garment made from Roses, Yucca and variety of leaves held together with thorns. She embodies the inherent pathos of the Weedrobes series, where the fierce cry of life represented of the lush flower in full bloom realizes its inevitable decay. The duende of this piece is apparent in the white flower petals falling from her dress as she dances. Inspired by the films of Tony Gatlif
