Arcade

A young girl has to learn very early about how to strategize her way through social situations. An ordinary task like running to catch a bus needs to be carefully calculated with math, physics and some divine intervention from an underwired sports bra.

Adolescence is happy to dish out generous helpings of insecurity to all awkward teens, but even more so to young girls out there, who haven’t yet learnt how to love and live in her own skin. Stares, glances and snickers have taught her to be incredibly conscious of how she moves, her size and what she wears.

Through a series of arcade games she grew up playing, Rae aims to highlight these strategies and techniques she’s had to develop while growing up. She has created a set of vibrant paper cut posters of RAC-MAN, TIT-RIS, and SPACE INVADERS.
