Wiley has always been fascinated with
diversity. Recently reading about the Buryats, Siberia's largest
indigenous population, Wiley found the people uniquely beautiful with
Asian features. Although this piece is not an accurate study of
authentic Siberian costume, Wiley liked the idea of the exotic far off
land and hoped to capture the sort of mystery with layers of fabric. |
