This is what happened to me and my friends when we were in the middle school at HK. Our tutor secretly took photos under our skirts and made physical touch with us, which made us afraid that time, afterwards we decided to report to our parents and school, the police was also involved. It was a pretty big news at that time, also my first time knowing and awareness about female safety.

This picture also inspired me a lot, from an artistic perspective, this is a very intriguing combination that mixes the human body, everyday objects, and portrait imagery. The work carries a touch of surrealism, as the face on the contact lens appears to be “trapped” on the fingertip, potentially provoking reflections on identity, vision, and the relationship between humans and objects.From an artistic perspective, this is a very intriguing combination that mixes the human body, everyday objects, and portrait imagery.

I transformed electronic symbols and any camera-related elements from everyday life into a kind of “sugar-coated bullet” using my own stylistic language.

Through my research, I also came across an advertisement that I found particularly fascinating — it’s from Apple. The ad tells the story of a protagonist who, by chance, discovers that their personal data is being publicly auctioned, and even their family members end up on the auction block. While the scenario may seem absurd, it reflects a real and pressing issue. With this short film, Apple effectively highlights the unique features of its products. I believe this is a truly meaningful advertisement, and it has also sparked some inspiration for my own creative ideas moving forward.

This piece really strikes a nerve when it comes to the themes of privacy and voyeurism. It blurs the line between who’s watching and who’s being watched, and makes you realize that in today’s digital world, our connection with screens is no longer just one-way. As the viewer looks at the screen, the eye on the device seems to look right back, reminding us that online, everything we do can be seen, tracked, and analyzed.

To me, this work isn’t just about voyeurism in an artistic sense — it also touches on the worries and questions we all have about privacy in modern life. We’re so used to using cameras, sensors, and data to observe others, but in doing so, we’re also exposing ourselves. This constant, uneven dynamic of watching and being watched has become an invisible weight that’s hard to escape. For my own project, I’m thinking of using installation as a way to express my ideas, because I feel it can deliver a much more powerful and striking message.

1. I used regular mirrors and mirror film, because to me they’re not just tools for reflection — they symbolize the mix between looking and being looked at, and the crossing of identities. When people stand in front of the piece, they’re not just observers, they become part of the scene, experiencing that tension of “I’m watching, but I’m also being watched.”

2️⃣ Surveillance devices (CCTV Camera Lens)
I added old CCTV cameras, fake cameras, and tiny hidden lenses. These objects bring in the sense of being watched or secretly filmed, pointing to the power dynamics and coldness behind voyeurism. The little cameras scattered throughout the piece help reinforce that atmosphere.

3️⃣ Fabric Mesh Clothing
I used sheer fabrics, mesh, lingerie, and ribbons to play with the blurry line between covering and exposing. These materials carry a strong feminine energy and hint at vulnerability, decoration, and the way society tries to control women’s bodies.

4️⃣ Everyday objects
I included things like a teddy bear, receipts, tickets, photos, and even ripped-up chat records. These are all personal items from my bedroom and daily life, which bring an intimate layer to the work and amplify the themes of voyeurism and privacy invasion.

5️⃣ Color and texture
I worked with purple, pink, pearls, glitter, foam, silicone, and puffy slime to create a sweet, dreamy, and even slightly sticky atmosphere. This “cute and harmless” surface contrasts sharply with the tension underneath, reflecting how voyeurism often masks its violence behind a playful or careless exterior.

I chose this theme because I feel a lot of frustration and anger toward the culture of voyeurism and how women’s privacy is constantly invaded. Especially today, women face the risk of being filmed or watched without consent almost anywhere — and the threat isn’t just physical, it’s deeply psychological. Through this installation, I want to highlight these hidden power dynamics and make the audience feel that tension of being watched and controlled. I also hope it makes people think: how do we look at others in public spaces? And is there a kind of unconscious power in the way we watch? For me, this work isn’t just about the victims — it’s also about the people doing the watching.

Foucault talks about the “Panopticon” in his book Discipline and Punish, which was originally a prison design by the philosopher Bentham. The idea is that a guard sits in a central tower and can watch all the prisoners, but the prisoners never know when they’re being watched. Foucault uses this as a way to explain how power works in modern society — you don’t need force all the time, just the feeling that someone might be watching is enough to make people control themselves.

For me, this idea really connects to my project. The experience of being secretly filmed or watched is like a modern-day panopticon. Women often change how they dress or act just because they might be watched or recorded. Foucault’s idea helped me think deeper about the power behind voyeurism, and in my work, I want people to feel what it’s like to be both the one watching and the one being watched.

I looked into the mindset behind voyeurism and people who secretly record others. It’s not just about curiosity — for many of them, it’s more about the feeling of control, excitement, and crossing boundaries. Behind this is the fact that being anonymous makes it easier for them to avoid punishment, and society often kind of tolerates this behavior.

The pleasure for voyeurs usually comes from a hidden sense of control, like:
→ I can see you, but you don’t know.
→ I have access to your most private, vulnerable moments, and you can’t do anything about it.

This sense of power isn’t just sexual, it’s also about dominance. I also think that a lot of people with this mindset are pretty invisible in their daily lives — maybe they’re stuck in boring routines or feel ignored and under pressure for a long time. For them, voyeurism turns into a twisted way to feel like they matter or to feel in control.
