super excited for The Art of Aqualumina, non-profit book & gallery exhibit Kickstarter here!
The Moribayassa is a very old dance performed by women celebrating the dissipation of bad luck or terrible circumstances, the shedding of old trials, and a turn towards the good. The river and water are a major feature in the dance and represent the cleansing away of old problems to make way for new hopes.

took me forever but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out! lots of artistic license haha.
Inspired by garments and jewelry from many West African cultures, such as the Wodaabe, Afar, Maasai, and Pokot peoples.

Wow! Amazing work! Love it!
I was wondering if you could let me us this image for an Android game called "Kingdoms of Myth", it's turn based strategy game based on a fantasy World. You can find a little bit more info in this rough website made by my colleges lifeisinfinity.eu5.org/infinit… (Sorry for the bad English). Of course you will have full credits of your work and link to your webpage if you want
Lot of thanks for your time
P.D: By the way we just created now a Facebook with more recent pictures: www.facebook.com/kingdomsofmyt…
She reminds me people of the tribe of Korra from the Legend of Korra (brown skin, blue eyes and powers related to water). I wonder if they got their inspiration from this dance.
