“During lockdown we were submerged, our government has anchored us underwater while the storm was passing overhead. We would continue with our routines as best as we could, however, the unfamiliar pressures on our chests and weights tied to our feet caused each movement to feel forced, heavy and strenuous.

When I stopping pulling against an immoveable force, I floated leisurely down through the depths with the water softly cushioning my tired limbs.

Here, time is not measured in minutes or hours. A task or project’s worth is not determined by its monetary value. Your self-worth is not measured by completed to do lists or by maintaining an immaculate appearance. Here, like the myriad of creatures that dwell in these watery realms, you simply are.

As the storm subsides and the water slowly recedes, we take a collective breath of fresh air. The pressure lifts from our lungs and our feet feel unsteady on solid ground. Hesitantly, we begin again.

My Resene look is inspired primarily by our oceans’ many varieties of jellyfish and the beautiful stream dwelling betta fish found in East Asia. The bodice is shaped to resemble the top of a jellyfish while the panels in the design represent their long tendrils. The movement and fullness of the dress skirt is both a nod to the tails and fins of the betta fish and a representation of how loose clothing or material fans out when submerged. The back of the dress is nearly identical to the front (minus the invisible zip) – this is purposely designed to resemble the symmetry of a jellyfish.”
