I took the female body as the model and made some texture of flesh and scars on it. What I want to express is the trauma of the current society for women.
Take the "Tangshan beating incident" in China in June 2022 as an example. After more than three month, the Chinese government has not fully dealt with this matter. Just like more gender issues, the government may prefer to avoid talking about it. It is unfair for women living in this society to avoid talking and not punish the perpetrators.
In the Chinese society we are living in, the psychology of women and even sexual minorities is just like this sculpture, full of scars and injuries, like burns, tearing and sticking the flesh.
我以女性的身体为基本,在上面做了一些肉和疤痕的纹理。我想表达的是当今社会对女性的创伤。
以2022年6月中国发生的“唐山打人事件”为例。几个月过去了,中国政府还没有完全处理好这件事。就像更多的性别问题一样,政府可能更倾向于避免谈论它。对于生活在这个社会中的女性来说,避而不谈,不惩罚施暴者是不公平的。
在我们所处的中国社会中,女性甚至性少数群体的心理就像这个雕塑一样,充满了疤痕和伤害,像烧伤、撕裂、粘肉。
