We are breathing puzzles full of deep love, anguish, and resilience. The way our brain and hands work to unravel the unknown is our way of storytelling the past, present, and future. Jehlani Nasira is an interdisciplinary designer who focuses intricately on creating an outlet for outcasts and marginalized groups to channel their inner Renaissance within her brand, "Asira." Her peripheral view touches on perspectives of identity, sexuality, gender, and adversity with hopes of creating an everlasting dialogue between historical patterns to illustrate imagery of new realities and ideologies. Her world speaks closely towards the restoration of community, functionality, and liberation through hue, asymmetry, and abstract needlework. The dichotomy of human existence through tender moments of physical touch, body language, and emotional interactions is what makes us all unique. Although we all have a different story, it’s our flaws and revelations that allow the puzzle to come together.
