Wing Chun Portrait

“The best thing is not to fight at all.” — Ip Man

I was given an assignment of creating an unconventional portrait of someone: it could not directly show the persons face. I thought it was an excellent opportunity to focus on the women who are credited with the creation of Wing Chun; a form of Southern Chinese Kung-Fu that focuses on self-defense and targeting the center line of an opponent to overcome size disadvantages.
