About the Work

A ceremonial procession before the emerald façade of the Peranakan Green Mansion — musicians, bride and family caught in the pageantry of a traditional Baba Nyonya wedding.

Through intricate visual narratives, the series preserves the symbolism, rituals, and timeless elegance of a tradition that reflects cultural adaptation, identity, and continuity across generations.
