“In the series, Yao collaborated with Filipino fashion designers to document their clothing designs as worn by current residents of the designers’ hometowns. The nostalgic tone of these photographs is tempered by the artist’s intent to provide commentary on the growing economic disparity between Manila, the country’s bustling cosmopolitan center, and the rural communities found across the Philippines.” Asia Society
