TOMAS ASMELASH ERITREA / 2022
SECTION OF DRESS: Christian Orthodox Cross
An important symbol of faith
My design for the Red Dress project I did was. Interested by my orthodox Christian religion. I’m originally from Eritrea. We as an Orthodox Christian we wear a wooden cross around our neck. After we turn 7 years old. It’s something that represent me as orthodox Christian believer. Even back in days women used to get Tattoos on their neck and forehead with cross.
