Working directly with textile processes, I explored surface design, pattern placement and material response through print. The focus was on learning through making, understanding how fabric, ink and construction interact to shape both form and meaning.

The head wraps were developed as wearable objects, balancing function, symbolism and visual impact.

Head wraps hold deep cultural significance within Black communities, functioning as markers of identity, care and heritage.
Nduwira and Duku reinterpret these forms through contemporary textile exploration, honouring tradition while experimenting with print, texture and finish.

The completed pieces were exhibited as part of a public exhibition at Overgate Shopping Centre, Dundee, positioning the work within a commercial and cultural space.

The project demonstrates:

• Hands-on textile and print experience

• Material exploration through experimentation

• An understanding of cultural storytelling through fashion objects

• The ability to translate concept into physical, wearable outcomes
