PIXY LIAO, MEN AS BAGS, 2016
“A popular internet phrase came up to my mind when I was making this bag. That is “I’m unhappy, I want bags.” The sentence literally means when a female is trying to get comforts from a man, she asks him to buy her luxury bags. Besides its original function and meaning, bag is now a way to show off taste, wealth and lifestyle. In this popular phrase, bag also becomes a symbol of man’s indulging love for the woman. When a woman is carrying a bag bought by a man, she’s also carrying the man’s affection for her. Also we can view human’s skin as a bag for a person’s whole existence.” - Pixy Liao
