Insist on presenting the real emotions in one’s own life and create appropriate art forms. Extracting words and discourses that are deeply experienced in daily life, we explore sculptural forms that correspond to the emotions of everyday materials and words. The experiences and perceptions of physical and psychological suppression during women’s growth naturally permeate the material handling, outlining contemporary women’s endurance and resistance in the face of real difficulties, and building a pedestal of empathy with the public’s life experience.
