Echoes

01.    “Girls and women, all dressed into their best dresses, work in a silk factory in the 40’s or 50’s. I am surprised. From photos the process looked still and stiff, but video footage reveals  their movements were fast and lively.  However, behind their focused faces I come to think how were the women really like: What kind of jokes they told, what made them smile, were the girls thinking about boys, what were their wisdom, sorrow? True colors in real life. 

I would not call these artwork as portraits, rather echoes of people who might have worked here. “
