I did a little experiment where I got some people, and when they were looking in the mirror, I told them how good they looked.
They would be unsure of themselves and talk about their flaws
I said, “Can I see a picture of your mum? Your mum looks just like you; she’s so beautiful”
They will respond to me by saying, “Yes.”
I say, “Then why do you think you are unattractive?”
Most people say, “I don’t know.”
There is a classic case where it says, “A white woman looks in the mirror and says, “I see a woman, a black woman looks in the mirror and says I see a black woman, and a white man looks in the mirror and says I see a human being.”
The mirror, a mysterious and psychedelic image, was also once a symbol of patriarchal structures. The value of her looks could never match the social value of a woman. Male society only recognizes the importance of women’s looks, and women are susceptible to the marks of time and destiny in their changing appearance. Men act, women, perform. Men hold the mirror and construct a more complex discourse than the mirror, while women are illuminated by the mirror, disciplined and punished in a patriarchal discourse.
When a woman looks in the mirror, the “looked at” woman becomes the woman who “looks at” herself.
The mirror shatters, the process of looking is forced to end, and with it the emptiness of the subject, which returns to the woman herself when she no longer affirms her existence.
Growing up, we would prefer to be in an environment where we get more recognition, where recognition is like a mirror that allows us to find our true selves.”
I have made a tiny observation that many images of women are often shot from the bottom up, lingering a little more on the legs and chest. Could our approach to women be more diverse? Fair skin like porcelain is beautiful, but can we also appreciate the beauty of pimples and wrinkles?
Growing up, we would prefer to be in an environment where we get more recognition, and recognition is like a mirror that allows us to find our true selves.”
The aim is not to provide answers, but to generate discussion on the subject, just as ‘room’ is defined differently for different people, for me its meaning is twofold: firstly, women need an independent, self-contained, private space; secondly, ‘room’ is also a personal narrative A symbol of imagery.”
Every woman should have her room, a spiritual space for self-examination and identity. Each work here represents the creator’s room, a private brew of her own emotions and perspective on the world.
