Who Do You Dress For? // 2025
This piece reflects on the power dynamics embedded in the act of getting dressed. Clothing is never neutral: every garment carries symbolic weight, a system of codes that shapes how we present ourselves to others. From uniforms to everyday attire, dressing implies responding —consciously or not— to a set of social expectations. What we choose to wear can be a way to conform, to obey, or to rebel, depending on the context, gender, or identity of the wearer.
The central question of the work is both direct and revealing: Who do you dress for?
It encapsulates the tension between what we show and what we hide, between what we wish to express and what we are expected to communicate. Do we dress to meet external judgment or to respond to an internal drive? Who validates what we wear? The piece doesn’t offer clear answers but opens a space to inhabit that ambiguity.
Beyond the question, a lingering doubt remains: Do we really care?
Perhaps the most radical gesture is not to respond with certainty, but to allow ourselves to hesitate. Maybe that crack —between who we are and what we show— is also a possible place from which to rethink how we inhabit the world.
