The realistic everyday environment of her studio is reflected in her work and transforms into a sublime dreamlike world. She incorporates elements of nature and space and uses earth tones and natural fabrics.She works with 3D perspectives and her designs include architectural materials like wood, iron and resin. She also creates her own fabrics by mixing fabric with fiberglass. in this way, Weimans’ designs tell a personal story of how her creative ideas come about. Because of her black roots Weimans is also interested in exploring the role of black women in our current global, complex culture. With her collection “Source of Power Collection”, Weimans gave an image of the eccentricity, political incorrectness and dignity that come to play analyzing the contemporary black woman.’
