By observing the women around me, I have mapped out the realities of women's lives, where there are many definitions and standards of how women should present themselves, such as appearance, identity, ...... "ungraceful" behaviours are considered "wrong", and there are even many videos on the internet that guide women on how to be elegant and set a benchmark. "There are even many videos on the internet that guide women on how to be elegant and set a benchmark. The "Strange Female Creatures" that I draw are not really strange or derogatory, but aim to break the conventional standards of the public's definition of women, and to show women's private, free, real and undefined lifestyles in their own right, reflecting them as they were originally intended to be seen.I then extracted these images and elements to make a biscuit and ate it to represent the breaking of these labels. Women can live their lives without hiding and catering to societal standards. Although many countries and regions of the world now have little to no discrimination and prejudice against women, and some cities even have women's priority carriages on the metro. But in some parts of the world, such a life is unimaginable for some women, who may not be able to go to school or let others see their faces, so I hope that girls don't need to care about what others think, but become "ourselves".
