Anita Albala’s fiber work is inspired by the poetic beauty of language and the layered symbolism of costume. Her hats blend urban and ancient ritual with scientific and spiritual motifs, creating wearable art that is both cryptic and functional. Each piece invites curiosity—practicality tiptoes into metaphor, and surface embellishments become visual poems. Anita’s approach is intuitive and concept-driven, drawing from the subconscious and the symbolic to craft pieces that speak to both hemispheres of the mind. Her collection, titled “Right Brain Hats for a Left Brain World,” reflects a playful yet thoughtful exploration of identity, intellect, and imagination.
