Frida Kahlo’s The Broken Column confronts the fragility of the body through the image of a fractured column replacing her spine. Yet even within pain, Frida turned her wounded body into a language of art and self expression. Columna reinterprets this powerful symbol through a lace up brace running down the centre of the body, surrounded by delicate lace and soft beaded fringe. Like an adornment, the structure transforms the image of a broken spine into something feminine, intimate and quietly resilient.
