Roisin Kearney
Isis (Iside)
La designer Roisin Kearney ha lanciato la sua etichetta Roisin Dubh nel 1998, caratterizzandola con modelli e parole opulenti.
Roisin è ispirata dal mondo antico, le leggende, il folclore, i sonetti, le poesie ed i simboli. Progettando i significati da infondere ai suoi abiti, è di importanza centrale per Roisin, creare indumenti che possono attivare un cambiamento e un’auto-energizzazione attraverso i motivi simbolici psico-attivi stampati. Ciascuna delle sue collezioni ha riflesso questa filosofia, sviluppando quindi il senso visivo ed artistico del design che la rende unica nella sua linea di moda.
Designer Roisin Kearney launched her own label Roisin Dubh in 1998, featuring ornate and opulent screen-printed patterns and words. Roisin draws her inspiration from a fascination with the ancient world, its legends, folklore, sonnets, poems and symbols. Designing layers of meaning into her clothes, is of central importance to Roisin, who creates garments which can activate change and self-empowerment through their intentional display of screen-printed psycho-active symbolic motifs. Each of her successive collections has individualistically reflected this philosophy, thereby developing the visual and artistic design direction that makes her unique in the fashion lineage.

Tower of Babel Genesis Chap 11. Bible
"Come out of Babylon, my people, that ye be not partakers of its sins, and that ye receive not of its plagues; for its sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered its iniquity"
Revelations XVIII:4
The Bible
TOWER
Calamity, sudden change, breaking down of structures, unplanned for events, sudden revelations, liberation, epiphanies, catastrophe, awakening, the rug being pulled out from under oneself.
The story of the Tower of Babel (Babylon) comes from the Old Testament of the Bible; Genesis II: Verses I-IX.
It tells of a tower built by the sons of men whose top would reach heaven, so that with their monument they could secure a dominance on the Earth.
The tower was built with brick and slime.
God saw the tower and said "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do, and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do".
So God tore apart their tower, and confused their language, so that they could not understand one anothers speech.
And God scattered them upon the Earth.
This story is synonymous with traditional Tarot interpretations of the tower card.
And so through grace, and only grace, our false structures and ideas about life are knocked over, and the light of consciousness illuminates our lives.
And although it can appear catastrophic, it is really a necessary liberation from bondage to outworn structures.
The card I have created shows a dark, stark, foreboding landscape.
The skulls depict the old worn down concepts, false words, false ideas on which the tower is built.
The eye coming down from the heavens, casting light and colour on the scene, is the Eye of Horus bringing super-consciousness to the structure, tearing it apart with light.
The three Yods forming a triangle, fall from the eye directing a stream of Universal will and consciousness, destroying the tower.
The upside down purple triangle is sub-consciousness, the yellow triangle being self-consciousness, together with the eye descending, they form a perfect alchemical triangle.
Without the eye they are fallen.
The archway surrounding the tower is five sided, signifying the four corners of the Earth, the point at the top, the point of real power, the great I AM descending.
Colour emanating from the eye is red for pure life-force, orange for manifestation, yellow for will, and purple for the light of consciousness.
