Collection
The original inspirations of the prints came from my chest scan reports.
Through my research, I see cyborg as a type of post-modern bio-power. Sooja Kim described in the study “Cyborg feminism expressed in fashion design” that cyborg is a body concept of this era that is actively accepted in the field of cultural festivals. Cyborg is different from the imaginary monster or grotesque image in the myth, and the symbolic meaning contained as an image expressing hybrid and multiple human identities as examined in the characteristics and meaning of cyborg is important. Haraway also advocated cyborg feminism, which contains the meaning of women's liberation through cyborgs.
