Well dressed II
Lisbon, Portugal
Performance
In this performance, I wore layer upon layer of heavy coats collected from second-hand stores in China, the UK, and France. Each carried traces of past lives and different geographies. As time passed and the weight accumulated on my body, I remained still, yet my posture began to tremble slightly under the strain.
​
This was both a test of my physical limits and a way to reflect on identity and migration through clothing. The coats were at once protective and oppressive, like the layered histories and cultural weights I carry across borders. Through this body wrapped in layers, I asked myself: what burdens do we take with us when we move, and what invisible stories are left behind?
