碩士 / 國立臺北藝術大學 / 美術學系碩士班創作組 / 105 / The thesis is entitled "The Stars: The Girls’ Destination“. The purpose is to think my works: " You Aren’t My Destiny". The thesis was separated into five chapters. The first chapter introduces the origin and the related background, and the second chapter, "the first century of the evil woman revolution". Using the flapper, single girl, the third wave feminism and the post feminism three parts to elaborate the history and the process of the “bad girl”’s revolution.

I want to deal with the influences women got from traditional concept and social media, and also the problems when facing the social framework. Today, in Taiwan''s popular drama or idol drama, "good girl" is still a single, flat image, in the popular films, dramas, women are mostly silly and innocent, unsophisticated, and without erotic feelings; therefore, they need the protection from male character. The patriarchal family system seems to have become the prerequisite for everyone to have a happy ending in life. So what kind of impact would it brings up? Female audiences agree with the female image in TV, dramas and films, build their self-identity in the framework of "suitable women" which continue to weaken the development and rights of women, strengthen and consolidate the structure of patriarchal society.
The original intention of my work is to face and deal with the related issues through my personal experiences. The thesis discusses from the personal experience, so there will be many first-person discourses. In fact, I am deeply influenced by popular culture and media. In childhood, by the Qiong Yao drama and idol drama, the establishment of my self-image and identity, I and other girls are no different, longing for love, marriage, and destined lovers; to adolescent,“Sex and the City” inspired me, and I finally found that women can also choose the freedom, and marriage is not the only destination of female. In my adulthood, I didn’t lose my passion for popular culture and media. I fell in love for several times and found myself couldn’t stand for those who had deep influence of patriarchal system. In graduated school, I began to study post-feminism and explored the third wave of feminism. Flapper, single girl, the third wave feminism become my most interested research topics, which are also being as the mentor to me helping me think clearly when observing and receiving messages of female from media and reality.
Popular culture and the transfer of image are direct and quick, so there are lots of stereotyped image which can be used, also understand the films and the dramas are in fact the only the tools of broadcasting, so they can''t be judged. Therefore, if the stereotyped concept can be added to the images, the audiences through watching can recognize it. Because of that, I chose to make my work through choreographer type photography of dressing up selfie, fulfilled myself of all kinds of imagination of life, trying to detect and face myself to all the possibilities I can have: What do I really want? I support the girls no longer need to play the innocent role, downgrade themselves only to win the love of men, like Bridget Jones _ sincere to herself without felt afraid of failure.
The final conclusion is a declaration and sincere invitation from me the creator of “You aren’t my destiny”. I used the work, which began from a small starting of my own self to my experience of self-evolution to share with and invite others, helping one day, the society I belong in can give the respect to everyone, and let them find the freedom in their souls through the acceptance and understanding of their own selves. Although I knew it’s hard to make huge differences only through the work and the thesis, still I want to speak for those
“bad girls” who do not meet social expectations and values in all countries. Praised for their courage to truly love and hate, sincerity, goodness, and not yield to the stereotyped social framework.
