This series reclaims East Asian female identity and upholds female empowerment, re-examining the history of porcelain exoticised from East to West, often likened to the fallacy of delicate women. Porcelaina 3.0 aims to reclaim the identity of ancient artefacts, informed by my own experience of micro-aggressions and orientalism, pigeonholed by race and gender.
Three ceramic sculptures are shaped after traditional Korean porcelain forms: Hangari, Maebyeong and Byeong (from left to right in the photo). Each Porcelaina is personified with the addition of arms and legs, gesturing together in defiance and resilience.
