Meet the Artist

aka. KIIAKIYO,

“The project "Women? Object!" explores the theme of the objectification and sexualization of women in the fashion industry, and consists of a collection of warning or educational illustrations titled "Women? Object!" The concept originated from a humanities course I took in my senior year of college called Art & Fashion, which introduced me to many artists' works on women's self-protection. This led me to think deeply about the issues surrounding women's status in the fashion industry and in society at large. I found that modern women often develop a sense of "man-hating" as a means of self-protection and resistance to the current situation. They are discriminated against and harassed in both their personal and professional lives. Women are viewed as playthings rather than independent individuals with a voice.”
