“SEXx (Social Expectations of Women)” is a project that reflects on woman oppression in our society which targets to point out issues that women are usually being judged and evaluated their values from their behaviours and expressions of desire especially when it comes to SEX. There are terms that use to describe women such as whore, slut, nymphomaniac.  In opposition to men, who get to be called with much more positive definition such as romeo, cassanova or womenizer.  In order to engage people understandings and make them indulge into the pool of those issues, the project creates an environment for visitors by using mixed media such as photograph, installation and video, for the audiences to experience the hidden issues that women are still facing in the society.

The project is inspired by the beautiful living form of Physarum Polysephalum (Slime Mould), an intelligent unicellular organism that can find the shortest path to access their food and avoid harmful environments.  The visual act of slime moulds searching for food does not only portray the freedom of their desire for food, but also manifest the power of expression and decisiveness. The intrigued pattern of slime moulds when hunting for food inspired me to look deeper into the possibility of the new social norms. What if we, women, can finally express ourselves freely without being judged or evaluated, how pleasant of life could it be?
