This painting is the first of a new chapter in the "Dressmakers" Series, which explores the experience of growing up female. In this series, the "dress" represents a woman’s life. As a child, others shape and influence the design of her dress, but as she matures, she takes on the role of dressmaker herself. This painting invites the viewer to witness one journey of becoming one's own woman, it symbolizes the courage to silence toxic influences, reclaim bodily autonomy, and reject societal expectations that attempt to define a woman’s place.
