This project highlights the pressures that come with the high expectations of many Asian families, whose success is often defined by financial success rather than personal gain. I designed a box structure with a library and books inside, with traditional Chinese motifs, small holes and wool connecting symbolizing limited freedom. I designed a separate library for the exterior of each box. Inside the box, nervous characters show pressure to pursue a career in order to gain the approval of their families, each carrying a book full of books. Outside the box, you can see that parents have sent their children into this loophole. The organic figures on top of the box represents individuals who choose a creative path to show their sense of accomplishment. Through this work, I hope that people will be able to follow their passions and not succumb to the pressures of family and society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18039,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18037","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-space-materiality"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
