The Dinner Party, an important icon of 1970s feminist art and a milestone in twentieth-century art, is presented as the centerpiece around which the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is organized. The Dinner Party comprises a massive ceremonial banquet, arranged on a triangular table with a total of thirty-nine place settings, each commemorating an important woman from history. The settings consist of embroidered runners, gold chalices and utensils, and china-painted porcelain plates with raised central motifs that are based on vulvar and butterfly forms and rendered in styles appropriate to the individual women being honored. The names of another 999 women are inscribed in gold on the white tile floor below the triangular table. This permanent installation is enhanced by rotating Herstory Gallery exhibitions relating to the 1,038 women honored at the table.

I started with the hope that I could influence women still today in the pursuit of beauty by harming their bodies. As I researched step by step, I kept developing my project and looking for more perspectives. The purpose and perception of beauty have changed for women in different times.
Historically women were influenced by a patriarchal society had to cater to the social trend of deformed or even abnormal aesthetics and change the shape of their bodies in painful ways.
Such as corset, foot-binding and circumcision. (Many things have changed over the years. For example, corset made of metal, which began to appear in the 16th century, were cast off by the women's liberation movement of the 20th century. Sometimes corsets are still show in fashion design. But the material and function have changed, more like a decoration. There are similar products like back support and shapewear ……)This means that the era of women's liberation has come.

To this day, women have been freed from the shackles of bad habits but still do not stop seeking beauty. Still changing the shape of their bodies to become beautiful, the pursuit of beauty is impossible to change.
However, I want to express People don't have to hurt their bodies in order to pursue general aesthetic. Everyone has their unique shape.And if more and more people continue to change their body according to the popular aesthetic, what is the difference between that and a mechanised, mass-produced products. Because of geographical proximity, in Asia, Chinese, Japanese and Korean aesthetics tend to be similar. With the popularity of facial plastic surgery and the unification of popular aesthetics, many girls are changing their appearance according to a similar template.（movie star） Lost the appearance of uniqueness.

In the context of the time, men were able to have a higher level of social mobility and cultural control and monopoly of a higher culture because of the inequality of women's rights and the fact that women lost many opportunities to participate in society due to the need to have children, etc.
In this context, men's perceptions of women change, and women meet the male gaze by determining their appearance in terms of male preferences.

Through research, I found a lot of evidence that women are associated with plants.
·Since ancient times, it has shown the inseparable relationship between women and plants in many literary works.
·There is flora in Greek mythology.
·In all dynasties of China, there are poems comparing women to flowers.
·Mori style originated in Japan. Mori means forest in Japanese.
·The reproductive process of plants is very similar to that of human beings.
·A plant that resembles the female reproductive organs.

Kira is from China and her Chinese name is xiaoyi which means 'perseverance' in Chinese. She also keeps on being a persevering person.

She is currently in her third year of Illustration at the University of the Arts London. The learning experience here has made her know how to do art and a deeper understanding of art. She hopes to always make progress in the field of art.

She likes to experiment with different materials in her work, so that the illustrations don't just stay on paper. She hopes that her work will really touch her audience and have a positive impact.

Kira still feels as playful as she did as a child, curious about everything and unwilling to stay at home. She believes that doing everything will be meaningful, it just might manifest itself at a different time.

A fashion style originated in Japan.
"Mori" means "forest".
So "Mori Girl" means "Forest Girl"

What is "Mori Girl"?
The taste of the style is a mix of multiple genres such as “natural", “bohemian" and “girly". The colors are often earthy or pastel and the materials often use cotton, hemp, frills, lace, gingham, and embroidery.

In many cases, “Mori Girl" has one-piece dresses or layering styles. The length of the skirt is long, and the silhouette is relaxed on the A-line.
It wasn’t just limited to clothes, but accessories and interiors with a taste of “Mori Girl" were popular. Many cafes and restaurants also have interiors using items made of natural materials.

Women's Botanical Garden

The project takes as its inspiration the bad habits of women throughout history who were forced to harm their bodies in order to appeal to perverse aesthetics. Contrast this with the changing behaviour and psychology of women today in their quest for beauty. I will use the connection between plants and women as support. In Unit 10 I will be creating a 'female botanical garden'. There will be specific plants in it, using them as a metaphor for the state of women in each of the three phases: ancient / modern / future. The meaning of this project expresses how the body and mind of women have transformed along with the civilisation of society.

The Effects of Foot-binding on the Foot Bones

# data[].attributes.subject
The Effects of Foot-binding on the Foot Bones

# data[].attributes.body
The practice became widespread among the upper classes during the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE),
The widespread nature of the practice by aristocrats meant that lower class parents saw foot-binding as an opportunity to raise the prospects of their own children. Eventually, the trait became something to take careful note of by parents arranging the marriage of their son. Tiny feet, despite the origins amongst dancers and courtesans, came to symbolise not only elegance but also moral virtue and modesty.

# data[].attributes.body
Foot-binding was a practice first carried out on young girls in Tang Dynasty China to restrict their normal growth and make their feet as small as possible. Considered an attractive quality, the effects of the process were painful and permanent.

# data[].attributes.body
The big toe was left facing forwards while the four smaller toes were bent under the foot. In this position, the feet were tightly bound using long strips of cloth, which then restricted any future growth and gave the foot a pronounced arch. The feet were unbound after one month, any ulcerations of the skin treated, and the foot rebound again. The bindings were loosened and retightened thereafter once each month until the girl reached her early teens (or even longer depending on the desired effect). It was not uncommon for one or more toes to be lost or to have infections in the foot or gangrene. Even as an adult a woman continued to wrap her deformed feet in bindings, wearing them at all times in public and when bathing.

Circumcision has been practised in Africa for over 4,000 years. The circumcision of girls is very much a reflection of the concept of chastity. Female circumcision is extremely brutal and the procedure is mostly performed on girls without any anaesthetic. An elderly woman opens her labia and holds them aside with a pin prick, leaving the entire clitoris exposed. The head of the clitoris was then cut off with a knife and the rest of the clitoris was sliced open lengthwise. The girl's mother will insert her fingers into the cut clitoris and scoop out the entire tissue. When the operation is complete, the mother sews up the sides of the vulva with acupuncture needles, leaving only a small opening for the drainage of urine and menstrual blood.The primary purpose of circumcision for African girls is to provide a reliable method of "virginity testing" for the man. He can determine the virginity of the bride by examining her vulva. During intercourse the woman's wounds are torn, then healed, then torn again, and so on and so forth.

Humanity is composed of men and women, and the two most basic tasks of human existence on earth are survival and reproduction. The relationship between man and man, man and man, man and woman, and woman and woman, are all laid down by man in the accomplishment of these two basic tasks.
1. When human beings used plant roots, stems, leaves, and fruits as their main food, women had more survival skills, and women always had the initiative in reproducing, so women were in charge in such a time, i.e., matriarchal society.
2. When humans used large animals, farming and similar strength and physical strength as their main livelihood skills, men had a clear advantage.
3. In the industrial era, men are still the main producers, although the reproduction of offspring is dominated by women. Therefore, in modern times and even in modern times, mankind is still mainly a male-dominated society.
4. In the future, in the distant future, the production is basically intelligent and mechanized, physical strength and power are no longer the advantages of men, intelligence is the main production capacity of men and women, and there is no significant difference between men and women, and the dominance of women in reproduction is more solid, then mankind may enter the era of full intelligent modernization, and may also enter a more advanced matriarchal society.

Beautiful women are often referred to as "beautiful women" or "good-looking women", and the emphasis here is more on beauty in appearance, posture, shape, features, etc. For this reason, today there are attempts to establish a criterion to determine whether you are a "beautiful woman", such as an organization in the United States that uses big data to determine the criteria for a beautiful woman, and thus finds the most beautiful woman who fits the criteria - Kelly Brook, 38, of the United Kingdom. Kelly Brook believes that in order to be beautiful in the eyes of men, it is not necessary to lie under the scalpel of a plastic surgeon or exhaust oneself in pursuit of unnatural thinness, it is more important to maintain a state of harmony, love and self-esteem with oneself and one's body.
A woman's beauty is a relationship with herself! It is a relationship with family! It is a relationship with society!
Beauty with grace, beauty with depth, beauty with nobility!

Female beauty is, in a sense, a combination of beautiful female characteristics, including but not limited to beautiful posture, shape, features, and appearance, but also beautiful qualities, character, spirit, and thought.
Therefore, when discussing female beauty, my view is: examine beautiful women and pursue female beauty.

My work will be displayed in a space. The space is a gestation room (womb) and when people come in they can feel that they are wrapped up, like they are back in their mother's womb and feel the security of being wrapped up. There is the sound of water and the sound of growing plants (plant wave). The space is divided into three areas, each with a plant form that expresses the state of women in different stages.
1. Ancient women. The plants in this area appear to be confined/restrained.
2. The modern woman. Plants that are being transformed by various technologies/machines and tools.
3. Future females. Plants that have been given better nutrients and cultivation techniques to grow freely.

PlantWave detects slight electrical variations in a plant via two electrodes placed on the leaves. These variations are graphed as a wave, which we translate into pitch messages, or notes that are routed to play instruments designed by our team. Other characteristics of the wave are translated into messages that give a plant the ability to change the textural qualities of those sounds. The result is a continuous stream of pleasing music that gives you a sonic window into the secret life of plants.
