Part of the Yassin Haute Couture project, the work attempts to rewrite the history of the artist’s father: a fashion designer who he has little knowledge about because of his premature death. The artist embroiders different possibilities for dresses on photographs of a soon-to-be bride that could have worn them. The designs are based on his father’s stories and how he might have imagined these designs. The creative urge is incarnated as a string of alternatives, the end result of which no one will ever know.
