Statement: Kyu-Ri Park comes from Korea and deals in her master degree with the female sexuality in her home country. Her detailed historical research finally reveals a clear connection between today's ideal of the beauty of women genitals and the ancient Chinese belief system. The influence of Confucianism still nurses the chastity as the highest beauty standard in Korean society. Women are divided into two groups based on Confucian values; the chaste women, who are well qualified for future wives and mothers of the nation and on the contrary women as sex objects. Therefore vulva plastic surgery is widely advertised and very common in Korea. Kyu-Ri Park living abroad for several years formulates a voice to this absurdity in her home country. She translates the topic in abstract forms. With this collection of wearable pieces, she wants to encourage for more diversity and self-determination.
