Obi-bow
The girl in the image stands alone in an isolated space. She is dressed in a kimono-like robe,with layers of abstract elements that resemble various obi-bows. These layers symbolize the emotional and physical baggage one accumulates through life. Its weight is dependent on what she’s been willing to abandon and keep. Simultaneously, the chosen remnants can actually be adornments for her presence, rather than things that weigh her down.
Veil
The veil signifies literal blindness as well as disregard for the physicality of people and things. This image describes the experience of discovery through filtering out what the eye sees.
