About the Work
I have been working on Love Me More this series for 8 years, I choose the very delicate lingerie combines with historic miniatures from the loyal family, especially Henry VIII, the king who had killed lots of his wives. Firda Kahlo, she is known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. The garment, which functions as a type of delicate armorer and comfort against the skin, gives the wearer a sense of security and self-love. Through my paintings of intimate clothes, I encourage women to take a positive perspective on their bodies and female representation while giving themselves the attention, humor and respect they deserve.
