How did you make this work:
In recent years, beauty trends such as double eyelid surgery, A4 waist challenge, collar bone fish pond challenge, and fetishized height have invaded people's daily life in China. Instead of loving their own bodies, more people started to pursue problematic beauty standards. I used animals to parody these issues for raising public awareness of the power dynamics related to these beauty standards.
