Candy I  2024

Medium: Sculpture, Performance, Video

Materials: Peach, Silk Stocking

Size: 12*5cm

 

Juicy and fresh, like a peach— like female body. This series explores my interaction with peaches and silk stockings as a means to examine gender, the body, and societal stereotypes. Silk stockings, often seen as a symbol of femininity and sexuality, carry implications of allure, restraint, and the "ideal" presentation of the female form.

 

They simultaneously cover, constrain, and filter the body in a way deemed “beautiful.” Through this project, I aim to dismantle the concept of perfection imposed on the female body. By experimenting with these materials in various combinations, I investigate how women are perceived, consumed, and digested in contemporary society.
