Backstage for Slovak Renaissance art work (2012-2014) (folk costumes and 100-200 year old archive headpieces styling preparation), celebrating the beauty and wealth of Slovak folk culture featuring a Renaissance of traditional clothing, tops and headdresses of single and married women, honoring their aesthetics, grace and artistic value. This Black and white photo documentation of āepāenie, the wedding ritual of taking off the wedding veil and donning the headdress worn by married women in Slovakia.
