The Dress<br />
‘The Dress’ is the transformation of my First Communion dress into the story of what happened<br />
that day, more than half a century ago, with all the feelings, conflicts and expectations that<br />
such a ritual had on me. My mother made the dress, every stitch expressing her love, our<br />
strong bond and what she deeply wished for me. It also expressed her religious beliefs and all<br />
the norms and expectations that were tied up in that belief.
