TITLE: EXISTENCE
The naked woman climbed the rock with difficulty and had a moment's respite on the small rock platform. This is a metaphor about how Chinese women view their social identity and gain the value of existence.
Nudity symbolizes the desire to break free from the shackles of freedom and self-expression. Chinese women are bound by traditional concepts. Photographing nude is a way to regain the initiative over their bodies and an attempt to break the existing rules.
When creating, I thought of Prometheus's punishment of being tied to the mountain and having his liver pecked. But if I had to do it again, I would still choose self-sacrifice in the same way.
