I collected dead leaves, plant material from the periphery of my neighborhood SoHo in New York. The shape of the piece is the soho map and I am represented in the middle coming out of it.

Workers Outfit stitched in the middle to not be able to wear
I made a outfit that I could wear while making my dead flower dye. I wanted the flowers to seep on to it to become closer to them. I made a belt that I wore around my waist that held my water, brush and pencil. The dress is modeled on my mothers old dress.
