In traditional families, women are confined to traditional roles, overlooking their potential. Our team challenges stereotypes

In traditional families and marriages, women are entirely confined within feminine roles. Defining women solely as wives and mothers almost excludes their roles in any other aspects of life.

Behind this observation, we find that women in domestic labor are perceived as sexual objects, while also being exploited in reproductive activities. There exists a complex relationship between female identity, domestic labor, and the family environment.

Our team aims to visualize the value of unpaid labor by observing and reproducing the marks and scars left on women's bodies in the family environment, and to re-examine stereotypes and issues surrounding female identity. 

 When we look at the marks and scars on women's bodies , we are essentially reading their stories, stories that speak of silent dedication . Through this project, we hope to break traditional gender stereotypes and reconsider women's roles and identities in the family. We believe that through such exploration, we can inspire recognition and respect for women's labor, while also creating a more inclusive and equitable social environment for our common future.
