S: Both the pieces are actually quite different. The first dress is made completely with embroidery. It's made of scrap fabrics that became like a full embroidered dress. Some of the threads are glow in the dark; so it's also a little bit futuristic in the sense that it's all made with new materials. The silhouette was also supposed to look very ancient and at the same time, very romantic. So it feels as if your avatar is going into an adventure, and they pick up different materials that become the dress. That’s the story I was going for. The coat is a big coat made up of bioplastics. The base coat is dyed with Indigo dyes, and I embroidered bioplastic flowers on top later. Because it’s all made of natural materials, the coat decomposes fast, representing the impertinence of the online world. That's the contrast, because the dress will never decompose, but the coat will. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d7d0bbf67612328efa86f3/3e44b5d1-bfbb-498c-9483-2631e770ffb4/IMG_4175.webp Blog - In Conversation: Serina Lee on Online Avatars and Mortality in Vscent II P: I understand the garments took one month to make! Walk us through the creative process, and what made you decide to use bioplastics as a focal element of the project? S: I wanted to use bioplastic because it's a new material. It felt like the building blocks of online identities because I got to make the materials myself from scratch and then embroider them. I also felt it was an interesting direction to go because of the bioplastics’ colour. It has this iridescence, so it looks like online personas with that little bit of glow. I can also control their colour, so that’s why I went for them. I cooked the bioplastics and left them to dry. Once it dried I cut them into individual pieces and burned the edges to make them look more natural, like a flower petal, and then I slowly embroidered them onto the garment. It sort of represented the avatar going into the online world and picking up stuff to put onto the coat. Like when you go and play a game, you can have different levels, and acquire different things to add to your avatar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d7d0bbf67612328efa86f3/725ba016-0d35-4f5d-8e95-f365a726cd64/IMG_4178.webp Blog - In Conversation: Serina Lee on Online Avatars and Mortality in Vscent II - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d7d0bbf67612328efa86f3/1036bf73-a418-4a54-8d90-ea215a6fa22c/IMG_4177.webp Blog - In Conversation: Serina Lee on Online Avatars and Mortality in Vscent II - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d7d0bbf67612328efa86f3/cb773e7c-ab87-4958-8082-dd5a1f186d24/IMG_4176.webp Blog - In Conversation: Serina Lee on Online Avatars and Mortality in Vscent II - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rachelminleong.uk/blog/radical-homes-queering-masculinities monthly 0.5 2026-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d7d0bbf67612328efa86f3/a4594852-b885-4afb-aca3-223143eefc1a/aapi-month-asian-american-teens-forest-1280x960.jpg Blog - Radical Homes and Queering Masculinities: Listening to Stasis in Andrew Kung’s Dreaming on the Hudson - Make it stand out Kung, Andrew.
