Red: Reflection

Inspired by a scene from the film Maléna by Giuseppe Tornatore, starring Monica Belluci, Red was placed among inanimate objects that resembled the human form (mannequins).

Red: Reincarnation

This is my personal favorite story of Red. Here, Red was inspired by the Tam Cam story from Vietnam. The story started out very similar to the Cinderella story, where Tam was the protagonist. However, Tam did die from her stepmother and stepsister's assassination attempt. Her true and immense love for the King helped her reincarnate many times. One of her reincarnation turned her into a bird to come back and kept the King's company. Tam, as a bird, still watched over her love. This is a story of death-defying love and will to live.

Red: Birth

This series, Red, is a project of mine that spanned out over 3 years. I depicted my subjects in red clothing or intentional red elements. These are some of the stories of womanhood that I have encountered in arts and lived out myself. Red is a versatile character that portrayed them. Here, in Birth, Red is victorious and free. The red veil was worn as a part of her garment: almost inseparable from her skin- her fate. This red veil stands for the fire and blood that Red was born in. Inspired by The Birth of Venus, Red was born vulnerable but also beautiful.
