'Untitled (Cheongsam deconstruction series)' is made in response to my ongoing explorations of the representational matter of Asian women. By reconstructing a Cheongsam – a traditional Chinese dress, I use a sartorial language to examine the position of Asian woman in the contemporary capitalist society and the Western social power structure.
I foreground the dilemma that many Asian women are placed in – to resist the stereotypical representations created by Western patriarchal and colonial culture, and to mark a desire for a representation of identity that battles against xenophobia and patriarchal power.

《无题》(旗袍解构系列)是我对亚洲女性代表性问题持续探索的回应。通过对传统中华服饰旗袍的重构,我用一种服装语言来审视亚洲女性在当代资本主义社会和⻄方社会权力结构中的地位。
作品强调了许多亚洲女性所面临的困境——既要抵制⻄方父权和殖⺠文化所造成的刻板印象,又要表达出一种对抗击仇外心理和父权制身份表征的渴望。
