2023. Porcelain with cobalt wash. 8×10×30cm.
As for the origin of the cheongsam, one theory believes that it is the result of women imitating men wearing long shirts and pursuing equal rights between men and women since only noble or knowledgeable men were qualified to wear long shirts in ancient China. The blue and white porcelain is the representative porcelain pattern of ancient China. Since the cheongsam interpreted above is a symbol of the pursuit of equal rights between men and women, this combination of blue and white porcelain and cheongsam sends the message: tracing back to history and advocating equality between men and women. The image of "vase" is also added as an irony: because I am as beautiful as a vase, is my value limited to a vase only?
