In a patriarchal reality where male dominance is the norm, I theorize a society in which everything is industrialized and serviceable, even human lives and sex. Sex, by nature, is an act of expressing intimacy, love, and union. I want to push the vision of a society which exploits sex and human fresh to the very extreme, devaluing them into another commodity and industrialize it. Using woodworking and papercrafting as mediums, I choose to build a “factory” of which I design to illustrate how human (and in this particular case, women’s) lives are treated as mere objects. Influenced by the “male gaze”, I went into the extreme by actually creating a facsimile of a factory mass producing human as products. I want to not only make a statement on the importance of placing our humanity above and beyond materialistic gains, but also set an example of what can and might happen to our consumer driven culture.
