This video captures the making process of transforming the poetry 'My Mother Had Two Children at My Age' into a fashion piece, as well as a photo book combining the poetry and photography.
Caught up in living for myself, I suddenly realised that I had reached the same age my mother was when she gave birth to me. I had always thought of my mother solely as a mother, but she was once my friend and a young girl too. This prompts reflection on how perceptions of womanhood are changing across generations. These clothes are a tribute to the mothers who gave life to today's daughters.
