Electric Butterfly (2013)

Katie Soon, Singapore

Description

Electric Butterfly is a meeting of the traditional and the futuristic. It invokes the sleek lines that come to mind when one thinks of future technology, and borrows from the obi of the traditional Japanese attire. The outfit is a mix of matte and shiny deep blue material that may look bland at first glance, but is brought to life by the swirling orange electroluminescent wire (EL wire) and sequinned details on the obi. The elusive Electric Butterfly dances on the edge of the background until the time comes for it to shine.
