RIBBON is a striking exploration of colour, rhythm and cultural memory. Strong ribbons of vibrant colour weave across a deep black ground, creating a bold interplay of over‑and‑under movement that evokes the structure of a traditional Scottish tartan. In this contemporary reinterpretation, the placement and sequence of each hue becomes a visual language—an abstracted echo of the way clan colours once signified identity, lineage and belonging.

The simplicity of the composition heightens its impact. Each band of colour asserts itself with clarity, yet the interlaced structure creates a sense of cohesion and quiet order. The black base amplifies the brightness of the palette, allowing the colours to pulse forward with intensity while maintaining a refined geometric balance. The result is a confident statement piece—clean, modern and resonant with cultural symbolism.
