Objects and WW2 - Demob

Demob Suit

Open Demob suitcase

The concept that I am exploring now is the De-mob when the service men returned at the end of the war to the women, whose roles had been changed during the war but were now expected to return to their roles pre-war. What I want to do is put the feminine mix in to the men's objects from the war and this is to show the beginning of change in gender roles, where women actually begin to take the jobs that were for men because of feeling empowerment from the war. I want to use the demob suitcase as the holder for the masculine war products and use the lighting to highlight them. Inside the suitcase I want the war type memorabilia that is recognisable and then change them to make them feminine by altering the material and way of making them.
