I Am My Mother

Wong Nguk Teng, Jovial
Singapore

I Am My Mother is a publication that examines growing up under the weight of tradition, inheriting beliefs not consciously chosen, and the process of disentangling oneself from them. It explores how patriarchy persists in the lessons mothers impart—not through intent to restrict, but because they, too, were never taught otherwise. Through acknowledgment and unlearning, it aims to redefine femininity, not as something shaped for others, but as a personal, self-determined expression.

I Am My Mother examines inherited beliefs, patriarchy’s influence, and the process of unlearning to redefine femininity as self-determined.
