Inspired by several duplications of ‘The Great Wave off Kanazawa - Hokusai' in street art, clothing and posters, the featured photo exhibits my own embellishment of the artwork using embroidery techniques.
With the aid of a sample picture, I was able to sketch a distinct outline of the wave upon a large square of nylon mesh, differentiating the specific and intricate features of the wave break. The decorative medium and combination of threads, beading and sequence creates variation in the design alluding to the unique dimensions of the wave from foamy white to deep ocean hues.
The most interesting part of the work is the notable texture uniting smooth and rough elements which align to form a satisfying piece of creative work.
