( Side experiment outcome of the final project/ Lino Print)
By the end of the project, I would like to write a bit more about it. Such as the reason why I choose this topic, what I want to delivery to the audiences?
Why I choose this topic?
The starting point of this project is base on my own life experience about my body shame. Which is basically between me and my dad. In my very early 20s, my dad once touched my breasts and judged that I do have really small boobs and he suggested me that I should do a plastic surgery about it. So this experience been effect my whole life about my confidence of my body until I moved to the UK. By the time I am down to my 30s and I am 34 year old now. For myself I am proud of who I am and what's the shape of my body. However, this traumatic memory still in my head and I do thinking about it all the time. So art, as a important way to delivery my emotions, I decided to create this project to tell my story and get over it.
What I want to delivery to the audience?
As a female, a mom and a mid age woman, I want to tell all the other females, we should be proud of ourselves, and we should to self-appreciation of our bodies and our life experiences. It's about loving ourselves and living for ourselves, not for man. It's about self respect, find my identity and be proud of myself. I would like to encourage the female audiences by seeing my body and give the confidence to others. So basically, it's a sad experience for myself, been transfer to a positive energy to others.
Again, Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Still gives a lot inspirations to take me this far for my project. End of the day, we are all acting some characters in our lives, as a student, a mom, a daughter... We try to find ourselves, where we belongs, however, we should accept all the different sides of ourselves!
