Jingchi Lu’s work has circled around seeking out and expressing the problems of the young girl in modern society. With the rapid developments of world economies and technologies, modern young girls’ thought and behaviors have radically changed. Her project will look at young girls aged 15-22 years old, and their complex social, personal and fashion behaviors in modern society. The project is 10 pieces of illustrations and creates by watercolor and ink.
In this work, Lu examined the relational situations of young girls in modern society and the content of their work from their school and social lives. This work tended to depict the young girl’s specific behaviors related to phenomenon and problems such as excessive dieting and eating disorders, their dependence on makeup and plastic surgery, obsessional worship of the TV star and pop singer, addiction to games and social media, and their pursuit for that brand name. From the research of modern young girl’s life and thoughts, Jessy uses metaphor and symbolization to represent those phenomenons from young girl’s daily life details in this project.
