An Everlasting Bond

This exhibit shows the special bond between a mother and her child. It explores the stories told through fabric, metals, and culture, and how motherhood is an experience that is more than just words; it is physical memories being passed through generations. Our exhibit explores motherhood using wedding gowns, dresses, cultural outfits, and rings, showing that it is ever changing and everlasting. The wedding gowns represents a love story, as well as tradition and values that continue through generations. The dress is a way for a mother to involve her daughter in traditions. The cultural outfit is a representation of Croatian culture and a mother’s love; a story of handmade clothing for a daughter to perform to the world. The flower ring is more than just a piece of jewellery but a cherished family heirloom. The ring shares memories of a grandmother’s nurturing presence.

Grace in Motion

The Grace in Motion Exhibit uses clothes to illustrate the different stages of a woman’s life. It all started in her early professional years when she started dressing in trendy and up-to-date attire for social events and get-togethers with friends. Over time, her attire changes to symbolize her marriage, friendships, and professional growth. The exhibit demonstrates how she maintains her sense of style and elegance despite juggling her personal and professional lives even after becoming a mother. Her tasteful and sophisticated wardrobe choices demonstrate her commitment to her marriage, profession, friendships, and parenting. The exhibit showcases her ageless elegance as she grows into a grandmother and witnesses the aging of her loved ones, the growth of her children, and the happiness of her grandchildren. Each woman’s life is a perpetual balancing act, and she always manages to accomplish it with grace and flawless style.
