This work expresses vulnerability that has been inside me for a long time. When I was in a bad relationship. I was afraid I would be blamed by others if I broke up with the person. I would drag the relationship on until it was rotten. I got used to Escaping because I couldn’t suffer from pressure and blame. So I use some methods such as sewing, heating and hot waxing was used to create smoothness and unevenness in the fabrics. The burnt marks convey the consequence of my suffering from pressure. And the use of medical materials like plaster bandages to express "injury" and "vulnerability".
