She describes herself as a sort of โmood designerโ, where inspiration flows through various faรงades such as emotions, the atmosphere, etc. and manifests itself in different media to include: literary arts, visual arts, and fashion, lending to an aesthetic fortified with a subtle avant-garde quirk, and an understated edge.
Her display during Antigua and Barbuda Art Week, will be work from her TAOTM (The Architecture of the Transcendent Mind) Collection. Inspired by the 1904 built Gunthropes Sugar Factory in Antigua, the collection seeks to convey the central processes that led to the revolution and the evolution of a people. The collection is a showcase of the strength, independence, and the intricacies of the mind to greater thoughts.

Her Antigua and Barbuda Art Week display piece was inspired by the 2021/2022 met gala theme, โGilded Glamourโ. Henry says, โAs a designer, a part of me always loved creating couture pieces so this was me challenging myself to create something fit for the red carpet apart from my usual aesthetic.โ
House of Argentโs ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ป has revealed โPURGATORYโ, a piece from his 2024 collection at the Antigua and Barbuda Art Week.
House of Argent is a realization of dreams. An embodiment and extension of Argent himself. He expresses himself through various mediums. He uses materials around him, manipulating them based on his emotion towards them, people or generally my surroundings.
House of Argent 2024 fall collection VYTCH is an exploration of various mediums and materials. The collection, heavily centers on the ideal of life and death, mortality and morbidity. The first piece dubbed as โPURGATORYโ Is a full exploration of the Avant Garde.
The design is made of plastic straws (5000 pieces) as well as organza and cancan tulle.
The piece is subject to interpretation. However the creator Argent wishes to advise the true essence behind the piece solely rests on his emotion at the time and train of thought due to the health crisis he with the grace of God lives through.
The Hive of many souls, many moons, many stories.
