Projection on fabric
Growing up in Hong Kong as one of the city with the fastest pace in living, working and education, I observe how the pace turns into pressure and stress that stops people from trying achieve their dreams. Within this piece, I wish I could portrait the aspiration of ourselves despite the high pressure in society, and to highlight the irony of us not being able to specialize into doing stuffs related to our future career path and how the education system fails to support us into achieving our dreams. While the Barbie doll represents my childhood dream as a fashion designer, the comparison in the scale of the doll and the dress symbolises the "insignificance" of myself at the moment and the achievements I would like to reach in my future.
