Lipstick Monster is my stand against old and unfair beauty standards. This project challenges outdated ideas about how women and men should look.

Society needs to let go of these limiting views on beauty and professionalism. With Lipstick Monster, I want to say clearly: "Shut up, or we will bite you." This project is about being yourself and rejecting narrow definitions of beauty. It’s a call to embrace who you are without fear or excuses.

“Boundary Guardian” is a sculpture inspired by armor and natural self-defense mechanisms. It represents my vision of a protective boundary that offers freedom—armor that protects without limiting mobility.

This artwork symbolizes the inner guardian within me. I feel this guardian whispering to me, “Now is the time to set boundaries,” . It shows the importance of personal boundaries in supporting self-growth and self-respect.

"Guilty Pleasure" celebrates female pleasure as a natural and important aspect of life, challenging societal taboos. It aims to encourage open discussions about sexuality, promoting mental health, better sleep, and safer sex practices. Its message is clear: everyone should feel free to enjoy pleasure without guilt, leading to deeper connections and enhanced relationships.

The ceramic sculpture "Diversitile" highlights diverse female body shapes to encourage self-acceptance and challenge toxic beauty standards. Emphasizing the importance of embracing differences rather than conforming to social media's ideals, the wall tile style signifies unity and resilience. Together, diverse bodies resist harmful beauty norms and promote self-acceptance.

"Emotional Baggage" represents the weight of our past struggles and hurts. It shows a figure holding onto a bundle tightly, symbolizing our emotional baggage. Like the sculpture itself, this baggage can feel heavy and fragile, like ceramic.

"Gucha" depicts the journey of overcoming self-doubt and the struggle with the inner voice questioning one's worth.
The word "Gucha," meaning the sound of something being smashed in Japanese, symbolizes smashing self-doubt. It reminds us that self-doubt can be quieted, and being kind to ourselves helps push aside negative thoughts and enhances self-worth.
