From the Rose Gallery, Santa Monica, California; to the Present Owner, in 2010.The Rose Gallery
label on frame verso indicates that this print was in the collection of the artist.
Sawada’s work focuses on the particular tension between outer presentation and inner identity.
Using her own body as template, Sawada’s subtle shifts in expression and her more obvious pairing
of traditional Japanese andWestern bridal clothing ask the viewer to rethink shifting identities and
the power of the camera.
