Loto (Lotus) Painting

This work establishes a parallel between shame and socially established. With a smile, shows her feet while the bands fall down. From a feminist enclave, it shows a metaphor in which the lotus feet are equal to the occult and the shadow of everyone. Here, the act of showing the shames and the own releasing and acceptance with which the figure do that, are only completed with the viewer, which reject or host the deformity (both social and intimate). The lotus feet is a Chinese tradition of binding the feet of girls to prevent their growth. Actually, the foot still grows but twisted. This is getting the woman not able to work outside and more attractive to find a wealthy husband (both reasons are cause and consequence; girls from lower classes were not bandaged feet to work in the field). This custom was abolished in 1949. The fact that the model was not Chinese eliminates the propaganda character of the work and gives the meanings explained at first.
