For She Who Never Breaks

Publication pOSters - March 2024

“For She Who Never Breaks” first began as an experimental short film made entirely from found footage, spanning across Classical Hollywood cinema to modern day movies. It’s aim was to explore the hyper-sexualisation of Asian women, particularly the war-originated history behind certain stereotypes that have shaped Asian portrayals often seen in popular media characters.

Later the project developed into a physical publication, a short booklet dedicated to one of the film’s ‘stars’ - actress Anna May Wong, who’s performances have all showcased the stereotypes mentioned in the film. It is comprised of charcoal drawings of her as character title cards, starring as each of these 3 main stereotypes: The Lotus Blossom, The Dragon Lady, and The Prostitute.
