Description
This piece was made digitally using Procreate, and I used bars and lines to represent restrictions to create a surrealist environment. A woman in red is shown turning away from a mirror, symbolizing the dread of her own feelings as she suppresses them in order to conform to social norms and expectations. A red veil or curtain, typical of traditional Chinese wedding clothing, is seen in the background. In addition, a throng brought a sedan chair to go with the bride to her new residence. illustrating a sense of imprisonment and entrapment as well as the fact that women are still expected to fulfill traditional expectations of marriage and motherhood.
