This project explores the status of unmarried women in Lebanon above the age of 30 and questions whether this ‘singlehood’ is a social stigma nowadays as it was in the past.
I interviewed 5 women, all over 30 and unmarried be it by choice, as a result of divorce, or any other reason.
The traditional English rhyme goes: ' Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and A Sixpence in your Shoe’. This rhyme denotes what the bride should wear on her wedding day for good luck. I have employed this old rhyme in order to transplant its elements according to Lebanese traditions and to explore the tension between those objects and visuals with the women’s experiences, which also resonate in my own personal life.
