**Note from the Artist:**

This striking pastel painting captures a couture dress from the renowned Dior Museum in Paris That I visited with my sister in May 2024. Rendered in vivid hues of tangerine orange and cool aqua, the garment seems to float in a dreamlike space — a glowing relic of high fashion and timeless elegance.

The voluminous bow shoulders burst with sculptural energy, while the lower half of the dress flows like water, scattered with delicate pink floral details that hint at the ephemeral beauty of bloom and decay. Set against a deep, moody plum background, the dress becomes a symbol of transformation — both regal and ghostly, powerful and fragile.

This piece explores themes of memory, femininity, and the way fashion can transcend utility to become living art.
