entry description
This work presented contemporary wedding possibilities in an unorthodox way. Taking the key elements of traditional Chinese weddings and the Chinese opera, I interpreted them in a modern way—the red tailored cheongsam represents the essence of a Chinese wedding, and the heavy makeup with a coronet symbolize the Chinese opera. The added veil resembles a conventional idea of a wedding—dreamlike and romantic.An old temple was chosen for the shoot location to reflect the aspects of the character.
