The Spell of Losing Weight

The work is inspired by my previous behaviour of overeating and irrational dieting. The silhouette of the work is taken from the infusion bottle, because of unhealthy dieting, I would often go to the hospital for infusion, and at the same time the infusion bottle also symbolises my once bloated body; the yellow tape measure in the middle is tightly strangling my waist, representing that I tried my best to make my waistline look thinner; the opening at the upper looks like the mouth in which I am vomiting, with the omentum of my stomach coming out from it. The whole piece figuratively presents my previous unhealthy physical state. By presenting this process artistically, I hope to give some reminders and warnings to my friends who have the same situation.
