This artwork by Noah Arends exemplifies her signature approach, where colour, texture, and textile merge into a layered composition. Inspired by fashion photography, Noah transforms found imagery through a meticulous process of collage, digital editing, and textile printing. The printed fabric, originally soft and fluid, is reshaped into a structured form, creating a dynamic interplay between image, material, and depth.

With a focus on hidden details and artisanal layering, her work challenges perceptions of traditional textile art. By stretching and manipulating textiles over frames or wooden structures, she redefines the medium, stripping the image of its commercial context and presenting it as an independent artistic statement. This compact yet impactful composition invites viewers to explore the tension between fashion, abstraction, and materiality.
