My work represents the suffering and lack of freedom of women in marriage. Women\u2019s bodies have been commodified and can be traded as products based on their reproduction and sexual value. Using a visual metaphor, I see the woman’s body have similar properties as the antique. A blue and white porcelain is bought for its collection value. In ancient Chinese marriage, a wife is chosen and bought for its sex and reproduction value. That’s why I made a porcelain mimicking the shape of a pregnant woman. I also made a box that looks like the traditional Chinese wedding chair\u2014a sedan chair. Usually, an antique is locked in a nice box to secure it. Once a woman enters marriage, she needs to be submissive to her husband and lose her freedom. Marriage is the box that locks women. I want to convey that idea as well;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17453,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[92],"class_list":["post-17449","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-elective","tag-drawing-through-making"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHelen Ren - Parsons Notes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/student-work\/helen-ren\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Helen Ren - Parsons Notes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"My work represents the suffering and lack of freedom of women in marriage.
