ICON - Beauty's Burden

Fri Dec 1st 2023

The inspiration comes from the story of the heroine in the movie "Notting Hill" who diets for a long time to maintain her figure. From a semiotic perspective, mainstream aesthetics affects the self-cognition of individuals through the reinforcement and dissemination of visual media.

In order to criticize this phenomenon, I exaggerate these symbolic features and design symbolic wearable clothing. Wearing this outfit and walking in the Notting Hill Bookshop, I frequently get stuck in the corridors and shelves, or accidentally knock things off, which satirizes the limitations of mainstream aesthetics and reveals its obstruction to real life.
