With these images I am describing the rigidity of the Chinese culture and how the second generation has managed to overcome these patterns by transforming its identity.

The shanghai used as a weapon, represents the pressures of the Chinese society, the high expectations of the family and the challenging school education.

Then in the images we see a change.

This girl thus takes consciousness, what was previously inflicted, now assumes a fundamental role.

A harmonious and powerful union between the person and his weakness, unquestionably elegant, strong and superior.
