Revelation 18:24 presents a sequence of warrior women, who are
gritty and raw in their appearance, as opposed to pretty and
romantic. It’s dark and cryptic, capturing the true essence of a
femme fatale perhaps at the end of time.
The hair reflects these female fighters and their ‘changeable nature’;
texture alternates from being coarse and rough to sleek and strong,
enhanced by definite lines, disconnections, shapes and beautiful,
hidden intricacies.
We see the re-emergence of the fringe; severe in it’s appearance but
creating a statement of strength. Variations on braids, topknots and
wet to dry techniques show diversity and wearability, and maintain
individuality.
Using the medium of hair, an element of grunge and colour combine
to create a raw and modern approach. Texture is enhanced by
specific colour techniques of ombre and block colour, while the
overall black and white photo treatment, presents a strength and
coolness worthy of an apocalyptic Mad Max warrior.
