‘SHE’ explores the objectification of the female body within its surroundings by making use of the process of self-objectification. This is a process where the artist reclaims authority, especially as a female, and establishes a dialogue with the societal expectations placed on themselves and their environment. The use of Chinese calligraphy depicting the word “she” manipulates the act of censorship rather into an act of embodying the cultural background and experiences of her life. This transformation of censorship acts as a tool to reclaim ownership, thus creating awareness in the search for neutralisation, liberation, and freedom of the body.
