Haydee Zelideth believes that clothes are a powerful tool of one’s own personal statement. In their own way they carry on public conversations with others and they share stories about who we are, who we are not, and who we wish to be. They are a means of exploring how to manipulate our perception of the human body and mind, in how our appearance (both physical and in what we wear) inform how the world chooses to engage or disengage with us, and how these images can open up perceptions of race, class, socioeconomic status, and more - all of which are conversations that most interest her. She is a Mexican American that grew up on both sides of the border. These experiences inform her point of view and how she approaches her work as a storyteller, giving depth, dimension and color to the specificities of someone’s life.
