THE HYPOCRITE

Category: Accessories

This collection represents my reflection on social norms in the context of Chinese culture. The work expresses the two sides of the hypocrite through the screen form of the body. There is a duality in the designs, where the front stands for the polite behaviour of the hypocrite, while the back is the hypocritical side covered by the screen. This work identifies and captures particular etiquette gestures such as handshake, the Chinese fist and palm salute and bowing. This work aims to explore and frame body language and capture these three gestures as fashion wearable expressions.
