"Role Model" strings five found wedding portraits hung against dense green foliage as laundry left out to dry. Brides and grooms repeat the same gestures — bouquet, veil, linked arms — as if memory itself were mass-produced. By displaying these archival photographs as a clothesline, the work exposes marriage as a visual template passed down family by family: an inherited pose we perform believing it to be our own choice, love staged long before it's lived.
