“Iridescent Dream” is a representation, reflection, and celebration of women through the lens of intergenerational femininity.
Representing a range of identities, each subject should challenge your own prejudices of women solely based on their appearances.
Being women in the society we are expected to dress a certain way, when we are young, we are dressing up according to our parent’s expectations, however, this may not what we want choose to been seen.
Our parents have had a pivotal role in building our idea of femininity, whether through showing us how they themselves dress or telling us how they wants us to present ourselves. The issue that I want to highlight visually was this expectation of being a women from our parents versus our true identity.
