Dominance, 166 x 44 x 98 cm, Deconstructed Textile, 2019

To control my imperfection in following uniform rules and being “normal” in the standard of school context, this garment portrays destruction of those norms. I deconstructed elements of the uniform in a provocative manner to confront the ideology of a conservative school. I focused on arrangements and cuts of the materials to portray a sensibility of power that females have in men-dominated-culture. I fused styles of feminine and street in the silhouette to respond to rules that unequally restrict female students’ presentations. Being frustrated, there was continuous detaching, attaching, and reattaching.
