Cinderella: European story line with Chinese characteristic and Malays clothing. (Inspired by the Photograph that Traci sent to me, very helpful.)
Or
There will be three scene for each Cinderella story, each will present the cinderella in certain costume (Malay, Chinese and European). Costume is able to directly identify the differences of each culture. So the background, it best to depict some important people which highlights cinderella’s life at that moment.
Scene 1: Stepmother and sisters
Scene 2: Spiritual guardian (Merge with the fish and fairy god mother)
Scene 3: Prince Charming (Hmmm still difficult to figure out)

I wanted to try buying a domain through WIX. (need to ask Kathryn how I should claim the payment for that from SIT)
Traci Talks about how our work should be exhibited in this exhibition and also arhggggg I can’t think of it now!!!! OH!! Documentation, merging video art into it. EG documenting the progress of finishing my art work. (I’m pretty sure this is under documentation too)
If I am including taking video of the development of my work, then I will need to add some articles on using blog as a progress of documentation too.
Amy Tan (Art Theory)
*movie “The Joy Luck Club” explored the relationship between Chinese women and their Chinese-American daughters
There was an unexpected emotional resolution to a rift of long before. When Tan was 16, "my mother was so frustrated - and I really did do things that would have driven any parent crazy - she snapped and held a cleaver to my throat. I was so numb and angry, for 20 minutes I acted as though I didn't care if she sliced my throat. She was absolutely crazy; you could see it in her eyes. She said, 'I'll kill you and Didi [my little brother] then myself, and we'll go where Daddy and Peter are, and you won't be ruining your life.' She never talked later about what happened. But two years after she had Alzheimer's, she said in Chinese, in a rare moment of lucidity: 'Amy, I think I'm losing my mind, I can't remember so many things. But I did something terrible to you when you were a child, I don't remember what. I'm sorry.' It was such a wonderful thing. For every child, no matter how good their childhood, there's something back there that you wished your parents had said sorry for; for me, it was for that."
Artist model that uses cultural identity in their work (photography)
-Replete with detail and symbolism, she infuses each composition with flashes of the often brutal moments Black women have endured throughout history. An interesting juxtaposition of aesthetic beauty and horrific detail, it’s a reminder that we must look beyond the surface to dig into a sometimes painful history
