Statement
To be dressed is to cover, adorn, or envelop the body in the guise we present to the outside world. To be dressed can be an exercise in simplicity, or an elaborate over-the-top performance. These Greek Orthodox Ex Votos represent the quintessential expectations of young females and are stitched to reveal, or hide, their realities.
