Portfolio: Li Chen Tan

LI CHEN TAN Just entered my early twenties, I often questioned what it is to be a woman? There are a million answers to the question, but I realized it is a journey in getting to know oneself. While constructing my portfolio, I have selected a simple yet controversial concept but what is more personal than oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion. In building this project, I have dedicated myself in designing and constructing the collection pieces, as well as organizing the thought process. I was also very fortunate to collaborate with few creative talents while photo shooting some of the pieces that I have made. The most difficult part was to make decisions as there were no instructors to guide me through this process.
