Disciplined Life (2020)
"Disciplined Life" is a captivating photographic project that offers a unique perspective on the lives of elderly women in China.
The project employs a playful approach, featuring several young girls dressing up as their grandmothers to provide an insightful glimpse into the experiences of this often marginalized group within mainstream society. By shedding light on the lives of these women, whose voices are easily overlooked, the project challenges stereotypes and prompts reflection on the inevitability of aging. As a member of Generation Z, the artist initially found it challenging to empathize with the life choices made by these women in the past. However, delving into this creative exploration has proven to be a fascinating journey, fostering a deeper understanding of the concept of aging through the lens of physical empathy.
