Self-Conflict as a woman








Every woman has desires as a woman. In a democratic society, she works hard in suits in order to grasp success, fame and equality. To achieve her high goals, she sometimes has to behave as a confident, fearless, and masculine man. Her busy life is intense and keen. The tight squares represent such busy life of her. Those accumulated squares represent her careers to get a successful status.

Simultaneously, such a masculine woman also has a feminine part. She subconsciously wants to be a lovely, soft, and effeminate woman like other women who rely on men. She also wants to find a love although she is too busy for her work. The blurred circles of different sizes represent her fantasies. What she always does is to oppress or hide such feminineness.

However, a part of her self, which is the woman wrapped around by the petal like a fairy, tries to draw back herself to be feminine when she realized love is also important to live as well as work. The fairy are sprinkling the petals on the masculine herself to give some space or latitude to be in balance from workaholic herself and to treat love is also essential for her life.
