“Assimilation // Annexation” intends to simultaneously expose and confront the institution of marriage from my cultural perspective. This collection embodies diverse Asian feminine identities and voices, by performing and capturing moments of my mum’s life through transformed bridal dresses, exploring concepts of loss, memory and nostalgia. The white wedding dress may function as a representative stereotype of femininity whilst exploring hidden symbolisms through cultural tradition and social rituals for women.
