Totem 04.120 x 96 cm.A primary school teacher in Chitty (indian Peranakan) wedding attire, posing in front of Sri Muthu Mariamman Temple (where her marriagetook place) next to a bodhi tree, in Kampung Chitty in Gajah Berang, Malacca.
In this portrait series of Malaysian women in traditional wear, they stand facing the camera squarely, their gazes strong and unwavering.
No surprise then that behind every photograph is a story that runs deep – a search for identity, a snapshot of what makes her who she is today, and a window into the intricate link between subject and photographer.
