Shanelle Nyasiase Makes a Connection through Couture
Shanelle Nyasiase shines in “Global Hypercolour” by Viviane Sassen for Dazed Magazine, Spring ’18. Showing no signs of retreat scintillation screams as colors are complete. The story is one of glory and grace, as Shanelle reaches behind her back touching the innocent face. There is no distance between art and imagination. There is no space between heart and hope. There is no journey that will bring me back to you… for in the arms of my sister is the place of my truth.
