Suffering from the price of striving to be “beautiful” both mentally and physically, women have been growing up with the nightmare of being beautiful. Modern women assert that “A woman can be herself by mastering her body.” Although it seems like fighting for this kind of freedom is nothing but for women themselves, behind the scheme, it is actually coming from the oppression of the patriarchy. Getting to the bottom of the phenomenon, women are, in fact, pursuing the superficial beauty to build self-confidence and get the gaze and appreciation from men. On top of that, the media constantly creates a model female image which standardizes beauty and worships thinness and youth. Women are unconsciously indoctrinated and persuaded with the idea that there is no ugly woman in the world but lazy woman. This study probes into the phenomenon of unhealthy diet and plastic surgery and creates works, basing on its findings. This study demonstrates its theme with collage. Nowadays, the collage skills are more and more diversified. This work tries new ways, studying the meaning of collage material, to demonstrate more of the theme. Incorporating the semiology in the work and discussing the connections between the mirror stage and women’s superficial beauty pursuit, the theme is demonstrated in three collections of eleven works. In this way, I hope that the concepts that the works tries to covey are able to be communicated to the audience and then, bring some retrospection.
