"With an eye for detail and a clever imagination, Barry University senior, Candice Kenmuir, took debris left behind from Hurricane Wilma and turned it into four pieces of unbelievable art, wearable art at that.
Armed with her camera, a few tools, and four volunteers to model her creations, Kenmuir - a photography major - spent several days collecting the debris that most South Floridians looked at as a painful reminder of the storm.
"My images were created, in part, from debris left behind following hurricane Wilma's tirade. They are intended to remind viewers not only of her destruction, but of the resilience of the people who were affected by the storm," Kenmuir said.
Leaves from an ancient tree that once stood outside Barry's photo lab were used to create "Amanda in Foliaged Evening Gown," while part of a wooden fence blown down by the storm was used to create the ballerina-like "Gemma in Splintered Fourth." Her two other pieces, "Felicia in Roof Tile Couture" and "Jackie in 60-Watt Wear," were created from damaged roof shingles and light bulbs, with the latter being a tribute to Florida Power and Light for the widespread power outage from the hurricane.
