Do you know you are not alone when you are fighting for what you believe in? Your family is also fighting alongside you, persistently.
When I came to a realisation, while I was fighting through paintings to bring the critical question on treating women’s clothes as unblissful dirt, my parents received bad judgments consistently from society.
Mixture of seeing your loved ones under mental pains and confusions between the new concept of a better enhanced society and the essence of my family being looked at through the critical eye is the main impression from this mixed-media painting. Furthermore, I am puzzled and in a dilemma as to whether to continue with these sorts of artworks with a deeper cause or halt my proceedings to decrease the harmful attention my family is receiving.
And since my family has been extremely understanding of my artworks, even when living in a conservative culture and traditionalist society, I will break through my dilemmas and continue with artworks like ‘ Breaking Self’ , which falls under the belt of activism art.

Fabric is not merely material but also a site of social struggle. Clothing has become the focal point of a tug-of-war between patriarchal and feminist ideas about how women exist in society. For generations, fabric has been employed to encapsulate traditional notions of femininity; however, a movement of resistance to both military and patriarchal power is emerging to challenge this. In this painting, Chuu addresses the history of Myanmar and the situation of women using newspaper collages and photographs to establish a link between the past and the present throughout the journey.
