This installation was inspired by my frequent visits to the Chinese medicine doctor who defeated my teenage tribulations- acne, horrible skin conditions, and irregular period cramps. It was during this experience that I realized how interconnected these issues were, each problem contributing to and exacerbating the others. To treat these concerns, he employed an unconventional approach- acupuncture on my feet- which left me perplexed yet fascinated. This installation captures my experience and the wisdoms of Chinese medicine philosophy. The human body, like a universe, requires delicate equilibrium, with Chi flowing freely. We must transcend surface appearances to see the intricate connections within. By deconstructing and reconstructing the human body, I hope to convey the connections between body parts and acupoints, highlighting the significance of balance in achieving stability and strength.
