STATEMENT
Domestic chores have historically been considered ‘women’s work’, freeing up men to engage in more productive jobs. Today’s women are significantly engaged in the workforce, but household chores continue to be viewed as the woman’s responsibility. As an adult I question the invisible stereotype that women’ s jobs are not important.
Growing up in a Korean-American immigrant family, both of my parents worked. I experienced the hardships of ‘women’s work’ firsthand as my mother worked two jobs, her domestic job out of sight, and her professional job outside the home. One day my mother revealed that she felt invisible, treated like a housekeeper in her own home. Therefore, to honor all women who have felt taken advantage of by the stereotype, I present my collection, “Invisible Woman”. My hope is that my work will show a great appreciation for women who have dedicated their entire lives to their family instead of themselves. I want them to realize they are beautiful women.
