"The Healing of Becoming: queer hybridity, cyborg flesh, and the reimagining of belonging in Asian futures"explores a personal connection with cyborg, cyberfeminism and queer theory. It aims to imagine a world where broader, more inclusive possibilities can take shape.
The collection features a dress/installation with interactive elements, along with a live performance that centers on localized Asian queer narratives, inviting audiences to engage with themes of identity, fragmentation, and regeneration.
Itās about being unapologetically partial, impure, and always evolving. Itās also an invitationāfor those who live in between, who never quite fit in, who are still figuring things out. This work gestures toward a queer, cyborg future built on care, collaboration, self-healing, and continuous becoming.
