In the culture I am in, sexuality is often an avoided topic. People choose not to confront or talk about sexuality because, in their conservative eyes, it is often a subject that is difficult to speak of, making the lack of sex education a social phenomenon. Some people may even feel ashamed or guilty about these desires. Yet, sexuality is a natural tendency and one of the basic needs of human beings. As such, I believe that confronting these desires is an essential step in understanding what you want within yourself and a crucial step in rethinking how your self and culture view sexuality. In this design, I wanted to confront sexuality head-on and think about how to present it in an intuitive but acceptable way. Therefore, I tried to re-conceptualize and reassemble the suit that represents abstinence to explore sexuality by simulating the combination of movements in a sexual act and presenting it directly but non-explicitly. At the same time, I introduced many sexually-themed prints into the design to emphasize this theme. Through this design, I hope to provoke viewers to think about sexuality, prompting them to re-examine ideas and stereotypes in sex education and traditional culture and encourage an open and respectful dialog about sexuality. I also hope to provide a platform for people to better understand their own and society's attitudes toward sexuality, thereby promoting a more inclusive and open cultural perspective.
