Kimono Venus’(2022)uses acrylic painting and a piece of origami paper on the wood panel. In the two-dimensional composition painting, the silhouettes of multiple people lying down, bar code, traditional Japanese colorful kimonos and things like hangers for hanging kimonos are randomly drawn. And the blue and white background has a wave-like pattern and is like an iceberg. At first glance, a painting that gives the impression of being cute. However, this artwork concept was discussed based on feminism, sexism and ethnicity against Asian women. Kimono Venus is inspired by criticisms of commodities and racial fetishes for Asian women in the world after globalization. “
