Photographed in the Hmong Village in St. Paul, Vilay's portrait juxtaposes the past and present image of Southeast Asian women through style and posture. Pictured in front of traditional dresses worn by Hmong women, Vilay stands boldly in the forefront portraying the modern.
Confronting the white male gaze, each image explores the static ideals of the female form in art through portraiture made by women, for women.
