FRIDA

“I am a revolution!” Frida Kahlo. Mexico, 1925: Frida wants to become a doctor, but an accident thwarts her plans. Then she falls in love with the painting genius Diego Rivera. She immerses herself in the world of art with him, he encourages her in her work - and he betrays her. Frida is deeply hurt and, knowing that happiness is only borrowed, she throws herself into life. The Parisian surrealists are as much at her feet as Picasso and Trotsky. Frida goes her own way, whether she celebrates success with her paintings or has to accept the fateful blow of a miscarriage - but then she is faced with a decision that forces her to question everything she has ever believed in.

When I saw the flower diadem, my first thought was: Frida. The only problem was finding a suitable hairstyle and I had to switch to Norn, because human characters don't have a suitable hairstyle. Frida's fused eyebrows are significant because they are confidently unconventional. Her image is a ray of hope for those women who feel limited or shamed by societal constraints and norms regarding beauty. Since character settings are limited, it was hard to make the brows even thicker, but I tried...

In her youth, she always dressed in a suit and tie. Her style was influenced by her father, who urged her to pursue activities that were considered masculine. In her later years, however, she began to wear clothes from her indigenous Mexican heritage as an expression of her personal political views.

For armor, I tried to find a traditional-looking, costume-like piece, although that doesn't look quite right either. Her outfits reminded me of her unconditional love for her home country Mexico and the Tehuantepec region. Frida wore huipils (short blouses sewn from several rectangular pieces), rebozos (traditional Mexican shawls) and colorful skirts. Some pieces of armor can't be dyed any color without destroying the whole concept, so I stuck with red, white and black. And if you pay attention, you'll notice that I used 3 different shoulder pieces (I couldn't really decide which one fits better).
The colors of Mexico are full of power, colorful and positive. Just as Frida Kahlo lived and loved her life despite her health problems. Strong blue, red, green and above all yellow. Colors that have a special radiance, rich in contrast and full of joie de vivre. So that's what I incorporated in Screens, replacing extremely colorful clothes in a way.

I hope you like my Frida and can enjoy pictures that I have tried to connect with Frida's real life/events.
