Inspired by a painting depicting Venus persuading Helen of Troy to fall in love with Paris, this hand-embroidered piece explores themes of desire, persuasion, and fate. Constructed in modal satin, the garment features an embroidered tableau at its centre, surrounded by motifs drawn from the ocean—the realm from which Venus emerged.
 
The embroidery extends outward into a composition of waves, stars, and cage-like forms that weave through the surface, suggesting both entrapment and inevitability. Entirely embroidered by hand, the piece combines narrative imagery with ornamental detailing to create a wearable interpretation of the myth.
