Inspired by history
This collection draws inspiration from the 1885 British colonization of Myanmar, when King Thibaw was exiled and the royal family’s treasures—including the Padamyar Ngamauk ruby—were taken. At its center is a fictional narrative: a Burmese woman in her 30s, working undercover as a British collaborator, on a mission to reclaim the stolen ruby—an emblem of a displaced monarchy and enduring heritage.
