Kapa celebrates the diversity, individuality, and enduring allure of adornment. Created by Georges Antoni and Natalie Petrevski, each portrait within this series serves as a window into a unique narrative, where the artistry of headwear becomes a language of expression, tradition, and identity. The work invites viewers to explore the multifaceted layers of symbolism, heritage, and personal style; to contemplate the significance of headwear beyond its aesthetic appeal. Whether steeped in tradition, fashion, or function, these pieces serve as bridges between past and present, between cultures and generations, reminding us of the rich tapestry of human expression that lies woven within the fabric of human history and experience.
Kapa was shown as part of Interwoven – a group show hosted by The ARTL—NE as part of Melbourne Design Week.
