This photo is of me in a Vietnamese traditional dress and sitting on a desk. I am wearing fingerless gloves, a bow, and Chuck Taylor's, reading a manga. I am sitting in a position that is considered "improper." This photo incorporates emphasis on the my white dress, made by the glow of my dress. There is also an emphasis on my shoes, being in focus because it represents a more "American" sense. There is also a sense of movement in my body's limbs.
I was trying to convey the sense of traditional, yet improper. The idea behind it is that I am Vietnamese before I am American, however, I should be able to express myself however I please. The shoes, gloves, manga, and bow are all the items my parents, especially my mother disapproves of. I wear these with my traditional dress because this shows my breaking free of traditions and my mother's close-mindedness.
I consider this piece somewhat successful because I believe it revealed my meaning behind it rather well. However, I did not think that this photo was as "interesting" for others to view.
