"An all-white cotton and linen conjoined dress with D-ring fasteners and straps, each element speaking to legacies of sharecropping, religion, mental illness, gendered violence, immigration, and loss.
The dress was created with inspiration from the combined histories of the three wearers. The details of each segment represent the history of the individual wearer while the garment as a whole depicts the interconnected nature of struggle."
