This painting is about female power, and its inspiration comes from Simone de Beauvoir's words: Man's great fortune lies in the fact that, whether in adulthood or childhood, he must embark on an extremely arduous path, yet it is the most reliable one. Woman's misfortune, however, lies in being surrounded by almost irresistible temptations. She is not required to strive for progress but is only encouraged to slide down to reach bliss. By the time she realizes she has been fooled by a mirage, it is already too late, and her strength has been exhausted in failed adventures. These illusory bubbles are traps set for women by consumerism and social discipline. I hope women can face the truth directly, burst the illusions, and fight for their due equal rights.
